Black smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Wednesday night, signaling no pope was elected in the first vote of the Vatican conclave. Over 45,000 gathered in St. Peterâs Square hoping for white smoke that would signal a new pontiff. Cardinals will resume voting Thursday. The conclave follows the death of Pope Francis, and all eyes are on the Vatican for a historic moment. Tensions and anticipation remain high as the secretive selection process continues behind closed doors. A two-thirds majority is required to elect the next spiritual leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, has sparked waves with his limited but telling 2025 social media posts. Before his election, he subtly criticized Vice President JD Vance, reposted content calling out Donald Trump's stance on immigration, and expressed support for Pope Francis' health. His posts reflect a compassionate stance on immigration, Dreamers, gun reform, and climate action-drawing cheers from liberals and concern from right-wing commentators. Though not prolific online, these posts provide a glimpse into the political leanings of the first American pope and what his leadership could signal for the global Church.
