The CBS News team covering the Papal Conclave humorously employed the slang term 'raw-dogging' to describe the cardinals' situation of being without electronic devices, highlighting the absurdity of using such modern language in a solemn context. With the passing of Pope Francis and the commencement of the election process, the CBS team featuring Norah O'Donnell and others provided live commentary, elaborating on the cardinals' traditional activities during the conclave, like praying, without distractions from technology.
TONY DOKUPIL: I believe the kids call it raw-dogging it. (LAUGHTER). TONY DOKUPIL: if you're gonna go through a long period of time with no electronic device.
JOHN ALLEN: Most of them will tell you that while that's going on, they're sitting reading their breviary, that's a book of prayers that clergy have, or praying a rosary.
FATHER ANTHONY FIGUEIREDO: I just wanted to say, the cardinal we just saw come up with the black covering over his head is the cardinals from Melbourne, just 45 years old.
DELIA GALLAGHER: Oh, right. Well, they're of a certain age, so they might be used to it.
