Black smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel at 9 p.m. local time on Wednesday, confirming that Catholic cardinals have failed to elect a new pope in the first round of voting at the papal conclave.

The 133 cardinals, meeting behind closed doors, will resume deliberations in the coming days.

Following a solemn procession into the Sistine Chapel, each cardinal took a sworn oath of secrecy before the first round of voting began around 5:45 PM local time.

It is so politicized and dramatized that they can't seem to hear what the good Lord says in choosing an anointed pope!
