Let's see the media blame JD Vance.
RIP Pope. Now I hope they have somebody in line that will be a quick choice. I don't want 3 weeks of watching a chimney for white smoke. And why does it have to be white but that is another rant.Pope Francis has died, Cardinal Kevin Ferrell, the Vatican camerlengo announced

After Pope Francis, I just wish for no socialist theologians.
The paper ballots are burned signifying the election is over. Paper apparently burns white.
Specific chemical mixtures are used to produce white or black smoke. Black smoke, signaling no pope elected, is made with potassium perchlorate, anthracene (from coal tar), and sulfur. White smoke, indicating a new pope has been chosen, is produced with potassium chlorate, lactose, and chloroform resin.
The white smoke signifies that a vote of over 2/3 was achieved thereby a new pope has been elected. If there is not a 2/3 majority the ballots are also burned but the smoke is black.
Here is more info than you need: During the 2013 conclave that led to the election of Pope Francis, the black smoke was produced using a mixture of potassium perchlorate, anthracene (a component of coal tar) and sulfur. The conclave used a combination of potassium chlorate, lactose, and chloroform resin to create the white smoke.
