    Three things I know now but didn't know last week.

    1. I didn't know what was on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (Paintings by Michelangelo of chapters in Genesis

    2. I didn't know about the Monastery where St Francis went to pray ( Which is now called Monastery of St. Francis Assisi (Zadar)

    3. The last thing is I didn't know that 2 cardinals were absent during the election


    Thanks Mrs Haney for all the information you are telling us I can't wait for more information next week.

  3. Well done Angelica and Mahrae. I owe each of you 3 signatures.
    Three things that I didn't know until last week are:-
    1. Conclave is Latin for "Locked Out" (Everyone was locked out whilst the Cardinals were voting)
    2. Cardinals must be under 80 years of age to vote.
    3. St. Francis of Assisi is responsible for the nativity scene that we see at Christmas. that is something that I have always loved to look at, even since I was a little girl.

  4. I did not that

    Must be under 80 years to be elected.
    A cardinal needs 2 thirds of the vote.
    I never knew that Michelangelo painted the ceiling .
    I never knew that ST Peter was the first pope.
