Black smoke again over the Vatican as Cardinals again fail to elect pope

Black smoke over the Sistine Chapel this morning indicated the failure, for the second time in two days, of Cardinals to elect a new head of the Catholic Church. The appearance of black smoke over the Vatican marked the end of the first of two sessions today in which the cardinals will attempt to choose their new leader. The black smoke, seen by thousands in St. Peter's Square, marked an inconclusive vote by cardinals meeting to choose the church's 265th pontiff.
