Cardinals from around the world are at the Vatican to elect the next leader of the Roman Catholic Church. After each vote, smoke will billow out of the chimney at the Sistine Chapel.

Humanly speaking, no chance of white smoke today, almost no chance tomorrow morning (Rome time), and I'd bet against it tomorrow afternoon. If there isn't white smoke Friday, they take up to a day off for prayer---and there is a decent chance we will be in for a long conclave. God only knows

I’m sure he was.
But there are other interesting ways of taking the colour.
I enjoy that the basic colours for Catan are Red, White, Blue, and Orange.
I remember watching this for the first time when Pope Francis was selected.
I never knew before then of this process, and it’s quite interesting. Thank you for the live cam.
Honestly, and personally, unless the next pope isn’t from Africa, any chance that the homosexual cabal entrenched in the church will be taken on is nil.

the TDS would be epic
Pope Donald XLVII. It would be Yuge!
What goes on inside that makes the smoke one way or another?
Human nature never changes.
The hocus pocus of the clerocracy still has a big following.
As a priest I saw on the tube pointed out, he would at least first have to become a Catholic
