Today the 12 March, 2013 the day the papal conclave will gather under Michelangelo’s frescoes, the "Last Judgment" in the Sistine Chapel in Vatican. The cardinals will go through a ballot voting process to elect a new Supreme Pontiff who will represent 1.2-billion worldwide member of the Catholic Church, and he will have to faced the challenging task to tackle and find solutions to their faith related issues.
We have to wait for the white smoke from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel to appear, which indicates a new Pope has been successfully elected to fill the current "sede vacante" of Saint Peter. The voting process may go on for several days if no majority two-thirds plus one is achieved. Only when this happen there will be white smoke else we see black smoke which indicates a re-vote will take place.
