In the last week of January, the main website passed a milestone - 200 million web pages served.
While the website has been around in some form since 1997. About five years that the website acquired its name and all stats begin at that point.
So, as of last weekend, folks have made 32.2 million visits to the website, seeing a bit over 200 million web pages (552 million hits for the nerds out there). That's a bit over 3 terabytes of data served.
Many thanks to all of you that use the website!

Cardinal-Electors as Percent of the College
With the introduction of the age limit for Cardinals to vote in a conclave, the percent of Cardinals eligible to vote has been trending downward.
Today, 52.2% are Electors.
Assuming no Cardinal deaths and no new creations, on 7 Mar 2018, Cardinal-Electors will be 50% (113 of 226). On 30 Mar 2018 it will fall below 50% for the first time ever (112 of 226).
Given that deaths of non-Electors are more likely, the dates will likely be later than those given above.
