Vatican City — White smoke poured from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel and the great bells of St. Peter's Basilica tolled Thursday after cardinals elected the 267th pope to lead the Catholic Church.

Catholic cardinals are returning to the Sistine Chapel on Thursday for a second day of voting to try and elect a new pope . The 133 cardinals are expected to vote again in the morning after spending the night sequestered at the Vatican residences.

Some have watched it in the cinema,” one cleric involved said, adding that the movie accurately portrays how the conclave works.
