No New Pope Elected Yet After Black Smoke Pours Out Of Sistine Chapel's Chimney

Francis was a great guy, down to earth, humble, and I hope they will choose someone just like him,

said Tom Barbitta, from the US state of North Carolina

I want to see the pope come out,

she said, pointing at the balcony framed by thick, red velvet curtains where the new pontiff traditionally makes a first appearance once the white smoke signals his election

The conclave and the Holy Spirit always work in mysterious ways,

Ms. Pérez said

She thinks this afternoon, on the fifth ballot — like Francis,

Mr. Cáceres said

I don’t do politics and religion,

she said

Francis did well in opening the church to the outside world, but on other fronts maybe he didn’t do enough. We’ll see if the next one will be able to do more,

Deget said from the piazza

We are hoping for the white smoke tonight,

said Pedro Deget, 22, a finance student from Argentina who is travelling in Italy with his family

Giovanni Battista Recardinal

I hope by this evening, returning to Rome, I’ll find white smoke,

said Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the 91-year-old dean of the College of Cardinals who presided over the Mass before the conclave

They probably need more time,

said Costanza Ranaldi, a 63-year-old who travelled from Pescara in Italy’s Abruzzo region to the Vatican

We'll see what happens next. We’ll find out soon,

says Barron

I think the church at the moment realizes that they need to bring people together, that they don't want the church to look split,

papal historian Rebecca Rist told CBS News partner network BBC News

We came for a vacation to Spain and Italy, but we are Catholic believers and now we are waiting for the new pope,

she said

He who enters the conclave as pope leaves as a cardinal.”

There is an old prover that Italians keep repeating

Everyone says that, but I don’t know how they know,

Cardinal Anders Arborelius of Sweden said in a recent interview

You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church,

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells him ... a verse that forms the biblical basis for the papacy

Pope John Paul Ipope

Universi Dominici Gregis: On the Vacancy of the Apostolic See and the Election of the Roman Pontiff.”

The last major changes to the rules came in 1996 and were laid out in a document written by Pope John Paul II,

I'm glad they've taken so much time because that means they're thinking carefully about who the pope will be,

she said, suggesting that

Let us pray, then, that the Holy Spirit, who in the last hundred years has given us a series of truly holy and great pontiffs, will give us a new pope according to God’s heart for the good of the Church and of humanity.”

Reflecting on a century of influential papacies, Re concluded

My hope is that cardinals will choose a man who can be a peacemaker and could reunify the church,

said Gabriel Capry, a 27-year-old from London

I don't want it rushed — whatever they need to do to make the right decision,

said Barbara Mason, 50, who travelled from Canada for the conclave
