Dr. David Corbett spoke with reporters outside his office this morning. “There is no substitute for in-person meetings, particularly when it involves selecting a leader for the one true Holy Roman Catholic Church. Now that the Cardinals are meeting via Zoom, how often do you think someone is going to turn off the camera and audio after joining the meeting? I hope it never happens, but it certainly could.”
He went on to say that mail-in ballots are fraught with peril. “The instructions with the ballots that were mailed from the Vatican yesterday clearly state that the ballot must be marked with the full name and address of the voter on the return envelope. What happens when one of the men neglect to include a date, or fail to write their full name? I see the potential for chaos.”
Dr. Corbett concluded by saying that the ‘I Voted” stickers given to all eligible Cardinals in the pending papal election was “a nice touch.”
