The first day of the papal conclave ended without a new Pope, as black smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Wednesday evening, signaling an inconclusive vote by the College of Cardinals.

Tens of thousands of worshippers gathered in St. Peter’s Square, anxiously watching as the smoke rose, an age-old signal of the conclave’s outcome.

The vote, which took over three hours, remains shrouded in secrecy. Analysts suggest that the cause of the delay may never be publicly known until the conclave ends.

The cardinals are expected to resume voting behind closed doors on Thursday until a successor to the late Pope is elected and white smoke finally signals agreement.
