The smoke indicated a failed first vote by the cardinals collected in the Vatican City to choose the next Catholic Church leader.The smoke rose at 9 o’clock at night, on Wednesday, about four hours after the local time, 133 cardinals entered the cystine chapel, took an oath of privacy, and began the process of selecting a new Pope to succeed Pope Francis as the leader of the 1.4 billion followers of the Catholic Church.

Since no candidate got the required two-thirds majority-89 votes-cardinals will retire for their Vatican housing for the night, where they remain indexed. The conclave will resume on Thursday morning as they return to Systin Chappell to continue the voting process.133 cardinals representing 70 countries have been cut off from the outside world. Their mobile phone was handed over, and the signal jaamers are activated around the Vatican so that all communication is blocked until a new pope is chosen.Pope Francis, who died on Easter on Monday at the age of 88, worked to make the 1.4 billion member Catholic Church more universal. He broke with previous customs, which could become a cardinal in the world and also the character of the Cardinals College.
