Black smoke was released in the Vatican after the first day of voting. Cardinals will continue voting inside the Sistine Chapel on Thursday until a new head of the Roman Catholic Church is elected
After the first day of voting in the Vatican black smoke was released, meaning that the cardinals voting at the conclave did not elect a new pope. Inside the Sistine Chapel, the cardinals will continue voting on Thursday until a candidate is chosen the new head of the Roman Catholic Church. Each round will be marked with a traditional signal from the chimney, writes RTS.
Although the first and only vote today was expected to be completed around 19:XNUMX, it took three hours before the black smoke was released to represent that the new head of the Catholic Church was not elected.
When the cardinals were imprisoned in the Sistine Chapel, each of them swore on the gospel that they would keep the details of the conclave secret for life.
The same goes for every person in the Vatican during the conclave: from the two doctors on hand for emergencies, to the dining room staff serving food to the cardinals.
All are sworn to "absolute and permanent secrecy."
"There are electronic jammers to make sure phone and Wi-Fi signals don't come in or out. The Vatican takes the idea of โโisolation extremely seriously," said John Allen, editor of the Crux website.
Black smoke from the roof of the Sistine Chapel signals that the conclave has not yet reached a decision, and white smoke is eagerly awaited because it signals that a new pope has been elected.
