Still A Black Smoke,Still No Pope And a white Dove Appears on the Sistine Chapel Chimney,Could the Wait End Soon?

 

The eyes of the world are on Rome as we are watching the Vatican. And that chimney that rises from inside this Sistine Chapel, we are waiting for the world's most famous, most anticipated smoke. You know the drill by now. White smoke means the 1.2 billion Catholics all around the world have a new leader. Black smoke means it was an unsuccessful vote.77 votes is needed to elect a new pope.A smoke could come in the next hour, hopefully this time a white smoke?
It's speculated that the longer time it takes to see a white smoke the more surprising the outcome will be...like a black pope...:-)

The anticipation is quite high, thousands of tourists and catholic faithfuls have streamed into Rome, watching and waiting in the wet and cold weather.
After the third voting round no new Pope has yet been chosen but one final smoke plume is said to rise from the Chimney no later than 7:30 PM local time, when the Conclave retreats until tomorrow.
“For believers, the dove on top of the chimney is an ominous sign a new pope is at hand.” If smoke appears by 7:00 PM it will most likely be white, indicating the Conclave elected a new Pope.
A dove sitting on the ledge of the chimney is for many believers an ominous sign the Roman Catholic Church will have a new Pope today – in the bible, the Holy Spirit is represented by a dove. The Conclave prayed to the Holy Spirit for guidance at the start of the election.
 Barack Obama has expressed he would love it if an American Cardinal was elected Pope. “I think an American Pope would be as effective as one from Poland, Italy or Guatemala,” the President said.
