Italian media speculation the long conclave session was the result of one of two things - either - a glitch with the vote, forcing a re-count, or the opening address from Cardinal Cantalamessa running 50mins not 15. Expect quicker sessions tomorrow #pope #Conclave2025.

So…black smoke, no Pope. Crowd scattters. Three hours and 20 minutes…much slower than the Vatican had briefed. If it takes that long, difficult to see how they do four votes in one day… #pope #conclave

Now almost 3 hours for conclave… either the process is moving far slower than the Vatican had expected, or they have a possible Pope, and he’s now getting ready to step on to the balcony and reveal himself to the world #conclave #pope

Waiting 2 hours now for a decision on the next #Pope…10s of 1000s of peeps relying not on their iPhones or iPads… but an ancient form of communication: smoke signals! Great to see so many heads looking up, not down. #conclave

The #PopeFrancis funeral and burial is complete, now the politics begins. The #cardinals meet today, many for the first time, 80% of them brand new. They deny they’re ‘candidates’ in a ‘campaign’…but there are similarities! #Conclave date should be announced in hours

A warning, the pictures are distressing. Loggers tell me they’re doing all they can, but is it enough? #koalas #AnimalCruelty #AnimalWelfare.
