In what seems to be surprising confidence and agreement, the College of Cardinals came to quick agreement on the second day of Conclave

Who will be the next pope? 133 cardinals have started the secretive, centuries-old ritual to elect a successor to Pope Francis.

The death of Pope Francis has ignited widespread online curiosity about the process of electing the next leader of the Catholic Church. Francis died on April 21 and the Roman Catholic cardinals are in the midst of electing a new pope in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel.

It took just two days for the College of Cardinals to elect a new Pope less than a month after the death of Francis

Black smoke appeared from a chimney atop the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican on Thursday, signalling that cardinals meeting in a secret conclave did not elect a new pope during their two morning ballots.
