VATICAN CITY -- Black smoke is pouring out of the Sistine Chapel chimney again, indicating no pope was elected on the second or third ballots of the conclave. 

The smoke appeared just before noon on Thursday, May 8. This was after the morning voting sessions to elect a successor to Pope Francis. 

The cardinals will now return to the Vatican residences where they are being sequestered for lunch. After that, they will go back to the Sistine Chapel for the afternoon voting session. Two more votes are possible this Thursday.
