Here's what comes nextPhoto shows Black smoke rising from the sistine chapelAnalysts expect the decision to select the new pope won't take longer than a few days.The largest and most geographically diverse conclave in history started the centuries-old ritual of choosing a new leader for the world's 1.4 billion Catholics on Wednesday.Some of the 133 voting cardinals had said they expected a short conclave to replace Pope Francis.But it will likely take a few rounds of voting for one man to secure the two-thirds majority, or 89 ballots, necessary to become the 267th pope.No pope in modern times has been elected on the first attempt, so that outcome was widely expected.But given recent history, a final result is possible from the second day, when up to four rounds of voting can take place.Pope Francis died on the 21st of April ending his 12-year tenure. (Reuters: Vatican Media)Argentine-born Francis, who died last month, was elected at the end of the second day, after five rounds of voting.Eight years earlier, it also took two days but only four votes to elevate Germany's Benedict XVI to the papacy.Posted 3h ago3 hours agoThu 8 May 2025 at 6:59am, updated 28m ago28 minutes agoThu 8 May 2025 at 10:04amShare optionsCopy linkFacebookX (formerly Twitter)Top StoriesSecond minister booted from cabinet as PM prepares reshuffleLIVEPhoto shows Ed Husic wearing a blue suit sitting in an office.More women in Labor than ever but top jobs still going to menBAnalysis by Brett WorthingtonPhoto shows Anika Wells Amanda Rishworth Katie Gallagher Anne AlyJacinta Nampijinpa Price joins Liberal Party as leadership race heats upTopic:Political Parties and MovementsPhoto shows A close up shot of a woman wearing a white blazer and black and white shirt.Conclave's second day begins with more black smoke as voting continuesTopic:Religious LeadersPhoto shows Black smoke spewing from a chimney.Cabinet ministers Mark Dreyfus, Ed Husic scrapped from new Albanese ministryTopic:Political LeadershipPhoto shows a composite image of two men wearing suitsRelated stories'Enter as pope, come out as cardinal': The race for Catholicism's top jobTopic:Religious LeadersPhoto shows Two men wearing white robes, red head coverings and sashes, engaged in conversationMeet the stand-out cardinals who could replace Pope FrancisTopic:Religious LeadersPhoto shows A sea of red robes as a group of cardinals in robes are pictured from beind at a mass in Peter's Square.Related topicsChristianityHoly See (Vatican City State)Religious LeadersTop StoriesSecond minister booted from cabinet as PM prepares reshuffleTopic:Government and PoliticsPhoto shows Ed Husic wearing a blue suit sitting in an office.More women in Labor than ever but top jobs still going to menBAnalysis by Brett WorthingtonJacinta Nampijinpa Price joins Liberal Party as leadership race heats upTopic:Political Parties and MovementsConclave's second day begins with more black smoke as voting continuesTopic:Religious LeadersCabinet ministers Mark Dreyfus, Ed Husic scrapped from new Albanese ministryTopic:Political LeadershipJust InMan walks free after fatally stabbing sister's boyfriend five timesTopic:Courts30m ago30 minutes agoThu 8 May 2025 at 10:02amFormer Liberal MP Katie Allen announces diagnosis of rare cancerTopic:Government and Politics34m ago34 minutes agoThu 8 May 2025 at 9:59amConclave's second day begins with more black smoke as voting continuesTopic:Religious Leaders25m ago25 minutes agoThu 8 May 2025 at 10:07amOprah was the face of Weight Watchers.
