A Playlist for The Papal Conclave
More than a hundred cardinals from around the world are convening in Rome to choose the successor to Pope Benedict XVI. This calls for a playlist.
Spotify, the streaming music service that Canadians can’t (legally) get, has published a papal enclave playlist assembled by experts at the University of Notre Dame. If you’d like to sing/chant/pray along, here it is.
