Vatican l black smoke and there was still no new pope


Around 8 pm in Rome about the same time as in the previous papal conclave , in 2005, came the smoke up the chimney. As this time, the fumata was black , which means that the Catholic faithful in the world will have to wait at least until tomorrow to meet his new popeThe 115 cardinals failed to achieve the two-thirds majority needed to appoint a replacement for Benedict XVI . For church affairs analysts, the final ballot of the white smoke could occur on Wednesday, just a day after the start of deliberations. At the conference will vote four times: twice in the morning and two in the afternoon. At 17:30 local time (16:30 GMT), the Cardinals kicked off the ceremony is expected that a maximum of five days will give the world the name of the new Pope of the Catholic Church, after the resignation of Benedict XVI . The bishops gathered for a prayer, after which they moved in procession to the Sistine Chapel, singing litanies before singing the hymn "Veni Creator Spiritus" , invoking the Holy Spirit to guide you in your decision. The total closure began after the cry "Extra omnes" (all out!) withdrew those outside the conclave and closed the doors of the chapel, standing alone Cardinals, who are sworn to silence about everything there is said-with the majestic frescoes by Michelangelo.
