A Vote for Law?!

Well, an unnamed cardinal's "Conclave Diary" has been published -- I'm working on translating the Italian text -- and I don't know why it's causing so much hubbub about Bergoglio being the runner-up. Three weeks ago, observant readers will note that I wrote of

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Jesuit archbishop of Buenos Aires (and, if several reports are to be believed, the conclave's "runner-up")....

Ergo, no surprises here about that. If you didn't see it before, you haven't been paying attention. Then again, paying attention is my job.

But what amazes me is this:

[On the final ballot] three other cardinals also registered one vote apiece in the last round: Austrian Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, Italian Cardinal Giacomo Biffi and American Cardinal Bernard Law, according to the diary.

Whosoever voted for Law... you complete the sentence.
