Pope Election Process via Smoke Signals

The Vatican has installed a chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel in preparation for the election of a new Pope. The color of the smoke emitted from this chimney will serve as the signal to the world indicating the outcome of the papal conclave.

Conclave and Smoke Signals

• Black Smoke: Indicates that no decision has been reached; the cardinals have not yet elected a Pope.
• White Smoke: Announces that the cardinals have successfully elected the 267th Pope, the new leader of the Catholic Church.
