The first fumata, predictable black, could be seen between 6:00 PM. And 19:00 the new Pope will only be chosen by qualified majority of two -thirds of the cardinal body, that is, he needs 89 votes to be chosen.
From the Paulina chapel to the song of the ‘Litanies of the Saints’, the Cardinals have already completed the procession to the Sixtine Chapel where they will pronounce the prescribed oath after the song of the ‘Veni Creator’. Then each cardinal voter will express his name and,, put his hand on the gospels, will say, “I promise, compulsory and swear.”
The 133 cardinals entered the Sistine Chapel, to start the conclave, and the first smoking, predictable black, could be seen between 6:00 PM. And 19:00 the new Pope will only be chosen by qualified majority of two -thirds of the cardinal body, that is, he needs 89 votes to be chosen.
The votes will take place in the Sistine Chapel, which closed its doors to the public last Monday 28 April to prepare the conclave. Since then, the operators have been in charge of placing the two stoves, to burn the control stamps and make the black or white smoke, and have made some adjustments.
