Bookmakers set up the fact that the church will ultimately lead to Cardinal from Italy Pietro Harlin, Secretary of State of the Vatican.
According to independent, black smoke from the pipe over the church on Wednesday, May 7, was a signal that 133 voting participants did not reach the necessary consensus. In order for the elections to take place, the candidate must receive at least two thirds of support.
The morning session on May 8 also ended without success – black smoke went through the chapel again, that is, to establish the winnerThe next session will last from 17:30 to 20:00 on Thursday.
The Press Service of the Holy See on the website Vatican News noted that on Thursday about 15,000 believers gathered on St. Peter Square on Thursday.
Smoke remains the only public evidence of what is happening behind the closed doors of the papal conclave. Following the ancient tradition, the details of the pope are hidden from the public.
