The late black smoking closes on the first day of Conaklics. It was distinguished by the expectation of tens of thousands of believers in San Pedro
the Black smoke Tonight caused the lament of the year More than 30,000 people This Vatican Plaza de San Pedro and its surrounding streets have been crowded pending the knowledge of the decision, the Cardinal Contourf, which was conducted on begging. After more than two hours of the planned time for the first smoking, the maximum expectations and nerves were in the heart of the Vatican: the delay turned jokes and the crowd’s comments into uncertainty In growth It also fell tonight on Rome.
Among the spontaneous applause waves and the wave of flags, some of those present dared to speculate with potential names of new virtual potatoes: Parolin was the most frequent. “If someone goes out, he should be,” said an Italian citizen while watching the Sistin Church chimney on one of the giant screens that were installed in San Pedro. He explained that everything, like Johan Martinez, a volunteer in the Vatican for the jubilee, did not trust the vision of white smoking today: “Although everything could happen, on the first day, the Cardinacle must distinguish the important option that they will take it.”
Although waiting seemed to be a big surprise, black smoke at nine and one minute of night dispels all the delusions of the believers. Within minutes, most of the attendees had already expelled, between disappointment and resignation, San Pedro Square To go to rest or have dinner at one of the surrounding companies. Thus, it is currently fulfilled, repeated expectations these days: it will not be a quick group.

In the words of the Cardinal Dean, the following “San Pedro” must “increase the communication of all Christians”, but also “between people, peoples and cultures, so that the church is always a house and a school for communication.” After the mass and after eating (A complete but light lunch, as the tradition representsIn Santa Marta, the Cardinate returned to the Polina chapel, in the Apostolic Palace, to march from there in a procession to Cistin.
However, the Mass was not exempted before the papal elections from the controversy, after the peace of Barolin, one of the candidates who will happen to Francisco, He was able to hear Brigadier Cardinal to wish him “luck at the beginning”.
