Overview

• The papal conclave to elect Pope Francis's successor continues, with no new pope chosen as of the latest black smoke signal from the Sistine Chapel.
• During CBS News's live coverage, co-host Tony Dokoupil described the cardinals' device-free sequester as 'raw-dogging,' a slang term with origins in sexual slang but now also used to mean enduring an experience without aids or preparation.
• The remark elicited awkward reactions from CBS panelists and sparked significant backlash on social media, where many criticized its perceived irreverence during a solemn religious event.
• Clips of the exchange quickly went viral, fueling scrutiny of CBS News's approach to covering the conclave and raising questions about the use of casual language in serious contexts.
• CBS has yet to comment on the incident, which has drawn attention to the intersection of modern broadcast culture and ancient ecclesiastical traditions.
