Benedict XVI Reinstates the Old Papal Election Rules

This is old news, but given that I occassionally post on the Catholic hierarchy I figure it seems appropriate to point out. Benedict XVI has scrapped the "reform" of the papal election rules put in place by John Paul II. Now it will once again require a 2/3rds vote of the consistory to elect a pope, no matter how long the process takes.
