VATICAN CITY \u2014 Black smoke streamed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel on Thursday morning in Rome, signaling that the 133 cardinal electors have not come to a two-thirds agreement about who the next pontiff should be.<\/p>\n

With Wednesday’s opening ballot, that means the cardinals have voted three times without electing a new pope. They are scheduled to vote two more times on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

They will vote four times a day until a candidate for the papacy achieves a two-thirds majority, with a break for a day of prayer if no pope is elected after three days.<\/p>\n
