Let us therefore bring this epilogue to a close, which I shall do in several points.
First point:
What everyone knows about the 1958 conclave, as seen from the outside, namely:
- On Saturday 25 October at 4.30 pm, the conclave convened;
- On Sunday 26 October, the white smoke at 5.53 pm indicated that a Pope had been elected, as it continued for more than five minutes;
- Vatican Radio announced this election to the whole world;
- But the new Pontiff did not appear on the balcony to give his urbi et orbi blessing;
- Moreover, the conclave continued on 27 and 28 October;
- On the latter date, an hour after some greyish wisps of smoke, a new Pontiff appeared at 6.22 pm;
- He extended the conclave by one more day, namely 29 October.
All these facts are verifiable and cannot be disputed by anyone; opinions differ only in the interpretation of the facts.
