💨 Abstract

Cardinals began a second day of voting in the Sistine Chapel to elect the new Pope, emitting black smoke to indicate no consensus. After two ballots on Thursday, there was still no result, with thousands of onlookers in St. Peter's Square. The cardinals aim to elect a successor to Pope Francis, who advocated for the downtrodden and sought to reform the Church. The process has seen multiple ballots, with no clear frontrunner among the diverse group of electors.
