Very interesting.

I dunno - I don't like secret practices either. Secrecy breeds unethical behavior.

They sure mastered the art of the shell game they managed to play with pedophile priests for so long!

The history of the papacy and papal elections are interesting indeed. Compared to the Old Days (like, say, of the Borgias and Macchavelli) this is nothing.
