Voting, candidates, smoking and last minute

The 133 Cardinals voters are contained again this Thursday in the Sistine Chapel after Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. the first black smoke appeared after the first vote, which means that no purple obtained the majority necessary to become the 267 Pontiff of the Catholic Church. In principle, this Thursday, in the event that no cardinal obtains the necessary majority, the second black smoking will come out about 12:30.

Specifically, around 7.45, the wandering voters will leave their accommodations to the Apostolic Palace. They will meet before 8:00 am at the Apostolic Palace, to celebrate Holy Mass and Laudes in the Paulina Chapel.

Subsequently, around 9:15 hours, they will retire to the Sistine Chapel to recite the middle prayer and proceed to a second vote and, in case of not getting the qualified majority of 89 votes any purple, a third, immediately later. If no candidate gets two thirds of the votes in the third vote, about 12:30, the cardinals will go to lunch to Santa Marta.

In the afternoon, at 3:45 p.m. they will go back to the Apostolic Palace, and at 4:30 p.m. they will enter the Sistine Chapel to make two more votes.

Last hour of the second day of the conclave to choose a new potato from the Vatican
