Today, May 7, the conclave began in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican. 133 cardinals from 71 countries gathered to elect a new Pope, but no decision has been made yet. This was reported by 'Glavkom' via live broadcast from the Vatican.
Black smoke from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel indicates that the cardinals did not elect the head of the church on the first vote. White smoke and bells will indicate that the church already has a new leader. Interestingly, throughout history, no Pope has been elected on the first day of the conclave.
