The Sistine Chapel is closing to the public Tuesday afternoon so that Catholic officials can prepare for an eventual conclave to elect a new pope, the Vatican announced.
Catholic cardinals have yet to announce when the conclave to elect Pope Benedict XVI's successor would start. On Monday they began a series of meetings designed to, among other things, decide when the conclave will begin. They were due to continue these meetings, known as General Congregations, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Sistine Chapel. Absolutely beautiful.

Hi bambi. I have not heard from little mister. Have u?
The Sistine Chapel is a wonderful place for the Cardinals to join the faithful cloud of witness of the continuity of Truth as seen in the History of the Church. May they emerge as obedient servants of our Almighty God and Father cooperating with the election of His choice for Pontiff, His servant in the Church. Shalom
You're Sistine.
You're beautiful.
And you're mine.
