Is the breakdown of the vote by Cardinal available? i.e. how many votes each Cardinal received? I
thought the ballots are burnt and not public.

George,
I think the results/details of the final deciding ballot are made public.
i clearly remember reading the runner up was cardinal Cordeiro with three votes and the last one--I forget who it was -- ended up with one vote.
This was separately confirmed me by bishop Joe Coutts later.
i have known Joe since he was a student-priest in Rome, visiting his brother, Trason, in Stockholm.
He has often regalled with much Vatican lore and facta.
I am backing our man to the hilt, prayers et al.
At this rate, you and I, and, possibly, Gabe, should quallify for at least a Knighthood
of Malta if our chap noses it out, whatever the present odds.
Alfred
