Resources

• Universi Dominici Gregis, The Apostolic Constitution of Pope John Paul II, February 22, 1996.
  
  
• The Election of the Pope, Monsignor Charles Burns, a priest of the Diocese of Paisley, Scotland, who has spent the best and longest part of his priestly ministry at work in the Vatican Secret Archives. He is a true priest, gentleman and scholar whose acquaintance I was privileged to make during the celebration of the 400th Anniversary of the Scots College in Rome, on the Feast of Saint Andrew, November 30, 2000. Thank you Monsignor Burns for your kindness and invaluable insights.
  
  
• The Oxford Dictionary of Popes, by J.N.D. Kelly, Oxford University Press, Oxford, England, 1986. This is a very good resource book that actually makes for interesting reading.
