Black smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Wednesday night, signaling no pope was elected in the first vote of the Vatican conclave. Over 45,000 gathered in St. Peter’s Square hoping for white smoke that would signal a new pontiff. Cardinals will resume voting Thursday. The conclave follows the death of Pope Francis, and all eyes are on the Vatican for a historic moment. Tensions and anticipation remain high as the secretive selection process continues behind closed doors. A two-thirds majority is required to elect the next spiritual leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.
