Cardinals return to the Sistine Chapel to vote on a new pope after first conclave ballot fails

Quick Summary:

VATICAN CITY—Cardinals return to the Sistine Chapel on Thursday to resume voting for a new pope after the first conclave ballot failed to find a winner, sending billowing black smoke through the chapel chimney.

John Paul I—the pope who reigned for 33 days in 1978—was elected on the fourth ballot.

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.
