Fox News
A chimney was installed Friday on the roof of the Sistine Chapel ahead of the conclave set to begin next Wednesday, which will decide the successor to Pope Francis.
During a conclave, cardinals vote through a secret ballot. A two-thirds majority is required for the election. After each round of submissions, ballots are read aloud and then burned. The ashes are used to notify audiences around the world and onlookers in St. Peter’s Square of the election’s status. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
Black smoke from the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican indicates a new round of voting is set to happen. White smoke signals a new leader of the Roman Catholic Church is selected.
