Black smoke again! Hope for the election of the Pope in the evening

Another black smoke after the vote in the Conclave. Therefore, there is still no agreement on the new Pope. A new smoke is expected in the afternoon.

Today is the second day of the Conclave to elect a new Pope and at 11:51 a.m. the second black smoke arrived after the one yesterday evening. Italian media reports that there is still no agreement on the new Pope, while a new smoke is expected in the afternoon.

On Wednesday, the 133 cardinal electors remained locked in the Sistine Chapel for more than three hours before sending the signal that no one had received enough votes to succeed Francis.

And today the same result, but the two votes scheduled for this afternoon could be final.

"I hope that tonight, when I return to Rome, I will find the white smoke. I am particularly happy to be here at the beginning of the Conclave, so that the Holy Spirit may blow powerfully and the Pope that today's Church and today's world need will be elected," Cardinal Dean Giovanni Battista Re said in Pompeii, underlining that the new Pope "will first of all have to try to strengthen faith in God in this world of ours characterized by technological progress, but from a spiritual point of view we have noticed a kind of 'forgetfulness of God'. There is a need for a revival ," he said.

In St. Peter's Square and along the Via del Reconciliation, more than 45,000 believers stood for a long time with their noses up, looking up from the chimney.  (A2 Televizion)
