Vatican Media reports that around 15,000 people have filled St. Peter’s Square as the conclave to elect a new pope enters its second day, now in the afternoon session. Anticipation is high, with many recalling that in 2013, the late Pope Francis was elected during an afternoon session on the second day. Eyes remain fixed on the chimney of the Sistine Chapel for the telltale white smoke signaling a successful vote.
