Papal Conclave 2025: Vatican’s Sistine Chapel Sends Out Black Smoke on Day 2 As 133 Cardinal Electors Struggle To Choose New Pope (See Pic and Video)

For the second consecutive day on May 8, black smoke poured from the chimney of the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, signalling that the 133 cardinal electors had failed to elect a new pope. Thousands gathered in St. Peter’s Square, anxiously awaiting the outcome of the conclave’s secret voting. The conclave, which convenes following a papal vacancy, has yet to reach a decision as cardinals continue their deliberations to choose Pope Francis' successor. Black smoke traditionally indicates that no consensus has been reached, while white smoke would signal the election of a new pope. Papal Conclave 2025: Black Smoke Pours From Sistine Chapel Chimney Signalling No New Pope Elected As 133 Cardinals Open Meet To Appoint Pope Francis’ Successor (See Pics and Video).
