An anonymous cardinal has broken the secrecy of the conclave and has given a detailed account of the balloting.
I'm not including a link though since that would kind of violate the spirit of the secrecy the church requests.

I read the article in the newspaper today. The interesting thing was that Ratzinger's chief competitor was not Montini, but Bergoglio.
I read this article. The "annonymous" cardinal's comments had a snotty, school-yard brat tone to them. A sort of,"he may have won, but not by much. So there. Hmpf!" It doesn't matter that HH Benedict XVI didn't have a large margin when elected. He became pope by a vote of ONE!
Uber-canonist Ed Peters posted about this too; he points out that the penalty for cardinals breaking the secrecy is lesser.
Ok, I fixed the part about the penalty.
