Conclave, the second day. The smoke is still black
12:47 Obama in the TV show Good Morning America on the Pope said: “I believe that a pope American would have the same effect in presiding over the church like a Polish pope, Italian or Guatemalan”
12:05 is immediately followed by the black smoke from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, which he referred to as-the first of three votes yesterday afternoon and this morning-the two have not been sufficient to elect the new Pope
11:39 Black smoke …. but lighter than that of yesterday evening
11:25 No smoke from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, which suggests that the first round of today has not led to the election of the pope.
In the morning you have two votes, and if the smoke is black is made at the end of the two ballots. In the case of election to the first round of voting, smoked, white, takes place after the first ballot. It is likely at this point the third vote.
11.06 Growing waiting among the pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square and the election of his successor Benedict XVI. A tangible example of what the expectation is increasingly on the rise is also due to the number of inspections carried out under the colonnade of St. Peter’s Square.
Long queues of pilgrims who undergo monitoring of metal detector before entering the church to gather in a moment of prayer. Imposing surveillance these days in the Vatican. According to data provided by the Municipality of Rome are about a thousand workers engaged in security checks and surveillance around St. Peter’s Square.
10:41 The persistent rain even if light falling on Rome from this morning seems to have contributed to discourage a large influx of faithful in St. Peter’s Square, despite the possibility that mid-morning the white smoke from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel to announce the election of A new Pope slow down when the flow in St. Peter’s Square are also predictions that speak of a conclave short but it is difficult to solve in the first ballot. Other hand, continues to adjust the entry of tourists in the Vatican Basilica.
10:31 A camera Vatican Television Center is constantly trained on the chimney, so as to give an immediate and direct the outcome of the vote. If it is positive, then already around 10:30 every moment could be good for the long-awaited event, otherwise there will be no black smoke, that these cards will be destroyed and burned after the second vote and the result will have to wait noon, however, there will be the signal: if black, it will mean that the cards were burned both votes, if white, then mean Pope elected on the second ballot of the two provided in the morning.
