The three sets of papal outfits - small, medium and large - are seen, at the Vatican City 18 April 2005. The outfits wait in a room at the right of the Sistine Chapel where the newly elected pope will be dressed before appearing at St Peter's Basilica balcony for his first 'Urbi et Orbi' blessing. Roman Catholic cardinals began a special mass today to invoke God's guidance before they convene in secret later in the day to elect a successor pope to John Paul II.
