Black Smoke Rises from Sistine Chapel: No New Pope Elected Yet, Conclave to Resume Tomorrow

Vatican City — Anticipation continues to build around the world as black smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel today, signaling that the College of Cardinals has not yet selected a new Pope. The visual cue, steeped in centuries-old tradition, means the first rounds of voting in the papal conclave did not result in the required two-thirds majority.

The smoke appeared shortly after the cardinals concluded their closed-door sessions, drawing thousands of onlookers to St. Peter’s Square, many of whom waited in the rain and cold for a glimpse of either the black or white smoke that traditionally marks the outcome of the day’s vote.

What Black Smoke Means

During the papal conclave, the cardinals—under age 80 and eligible to vote—gather in strict secrecy within the Sistine Chapel to cast their ballots. After each round of voting, ballots are burned in a special stove; chemicals are added to produce either black or white smoke.

  • Black smoke = No pope has been elected.
  • White smoke = A new pope has been chosen.

Today’s black smoke indicates that no single candidate has yet received the necessary support to become the next Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.

Conclave to Resume Tomorrow

According to Vatican officials, the conclave will resume tomorrow, with additional voting sessions planned until a new pope is elected. Typically, the cardinals vote up to four times a day—two in the morning and two in the afternoon—until consensus is reached.

The world now waits in prayer and curiosity as the Church’s 1.3 billion faithful anticipate who will succeed the previous pope and lead the Church into a new chapter.

Global Attention on the Vatican

Social media platforms and global news outlets are closely tracking developments, with hashtags like #PapalConclaveand #NewPopeWatch trending across regions. Religious leaders, political figures, and everyday citizens alike have expressed both solemnity and hope as the process unfolds.

Until white smoke rises, the eyes of the world will remain fixed on the chimney of the Sistine Chapel.
