Pope could not be selected today – Cyprus Newspaper

In the 2nd day vote in the Vatican today, the new pope could not be selected on the Sistina Chapel black smoke rose.

Following the death of the Catholics last spiritual leader and Vatican President Pope Franciscus on April 21st, the 2nd and third round of voting was held this morning to determine the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church, which was a member of 1.4 billion members.

Cardinals, the highest -level cleric after the Pope in the Christian clergy class, entered the Sistine Chapel once again in the morning and made two votes.

When a cardinal, which received at least 89 votes, was not selected and black smoke rose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel as it was yesterday.

133 cardinals of the Catholic Church, under 80 years old, will make 2 more sessions in the afternoon today. The results of these votes will be announced in this evening with smoke that will come out of the chimney of Sistine Chapel.

If the black smoke comes out, it will mean that the pope cannot be chosen in the voting, and if the white smoke comes out, the pope is chosen.

In the meantime, the Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, Dean of the Cardinal Assembly who could not join the Konklav in Sistine Chapel because he was over 80 years old, said in a statement in the city of Pompei, pointing out that the pope can be selected in a short time in Konklav, “I hope to find the white smoke this evening.” he said.
