...Tuesday, April 12, 9pm, Vatican City What's a reporter to do when the anointed sources are on maximum lock-down? Keep on knockin'. And, at the same time, hustle for other ways to divine what those 115 men in red who will choose the next Pope are thinking and saying and doing behind their shuttered windows. We talk to aides; we talk to bishops; we talk to people who talk to Cardinals. Beyond the Cardinals' self-imposed press blackout during this week leading up to the conclave, we got a piece of bad news earlier today when a dinner...
Monday, April 11, 9pm, Vatican City The Return of Cardinal Law You could have termed it "kickin' him upstairs" when former Church heavyweight Bernard Cardinal Law was handed an honorific, but influence-free posting last year after his 2002 resignation from the Boston Archdiocese.

Many of us wanted to take in the spectacle of millions turning out to bid the Pope farewell, but we also wanted to get a close look at the homily delivered by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger - which would have been hard to do with the echoing sound system out in St. Peter's Square. As the Dean of the College of Cardinals, Ratzinger is widely expected to play a pivotal role in the coming conclave to choose a successor to John...
