AWAITING THE CHIMNEY SMOKE FROM A FIRST VOTE AT THE CONCLAVE.............

The first vote of the Conclave has produced black smoke from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, including no Cardinal has received the two thirds margin required to be elected Pope.   The smoke that emitted out into the sky started showing with some uncertainly, but then definitely turned black.  That is the work of the Papal Conclave 2013 Day 1 done.  The Cardinal Electors will now head back to their hotel enclosure adjacent to the Sistine Chapel - have dinner together, discuss the direction of the first vote, and then and go to sleep.  Blogging on Updating Papal Conclave 2013 will continue.............tdp
