At the Vatican, Catholic cardinals have entered a second day of voting to elect a new pope. Votes taken Monday afternoon and this morning were both inconclusive. 115 Cardinals have isolated themselves inside the Sistine Chapel during the process known as the conclave. The Cardinals will cast as many as four ballots a day. Twice a day, the ballots will be burned–black smoke signals an inconclusive vote; white smoke indicates a new pope has been choosen.
