Vatican’s Smoke Signals Are Back!

The Vatican just installed that famous chimney on the Sistine Chapel, which means it’s almost time to pick the next pope! With Pope Francis gone, 135 cardinals (all under 80) are about to lock themselves in for a super-secret vote. Here’s the wild part: the only way the world knows what’s happening is by watching the smoke—black means no pope yet, white means we’ve got a new leader. It’s basically the OG reality show finale! #Vatican #PopeElection #SistineChapel #CatholicChurch #WatercoolerMoment #Culture
