The cardinals gathered in the Vatican will therefore continue the process to elect a new head of the Catholic Church tomorrow. Black smoke emanated from the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel this evening, indicating no new pope was elected during the first round of voting.
One hundred and thirty-three red-robed cardinals from around the world have filed into the Sistine Chapel to the strains of a choir backed by organ music, and the doors were sealed behind them. The papal conclave — a centuries-old tradition to elect a new head of the Catholic Church — has now begun.
“The Sistine Chapel is completely isolated for the entire duration of the conclave. It is off limits for everyone except the cardinals and restricted members of Vatican staff. Everyone has to swear to keep it secret for their entire life. If you reveal one word – excommunication.”
