Most of the Catholic cardinals who will select the next Pope have arrived in the Vatican to meet in "congregations" that will precede the official papal conclave, according to USA Today.

The date of the conclave won't be set until all 115 cardinals eligible to vote arrive. Now, 103 are in town. The Vatican said they've been praying together and talked over coffee.

The Vatican spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the talks are "positive, serine, warm, cordial, and constructive," but did not say what they were actually discussing.
