Beautiful.

As we reported this morning, the second morning of the papal conclave resulted in black smoke again, signalling no new pope yet.

Fox News analyst Father Jonathan Morris posted a picture yesterday.

And today again, thousands of the faithful are waiting in the pouring rain in St. Peter’s Square for signs of white smoke.
