YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe election of the next pope started Wednesday as cardinals from across the globe convene for a conclave, where they will vote on the next leader of the Catholic church in a highly ritualized process.
Because the deliberations and votes are secret, the cardinals who enter the Sistine Chapel use smoke signals to communicate with the outside world.
If black smoke appears, that means a new pope has not yet been chosen. But if white smoke is seen over the Vatican, then the Cardinals have selected a new pope to lead the church.
