Today the Conclave has begun. The Cardinals made an oath of secrecy which if they break will result in excommunication. Archbishop Marini then exclaimed the "Omnes Extra" which is a call for all those who are not Cardinals to leave.
After the ballots, black smoke was release indicating that no decision has been reached. The Church remains in Sede Vacante
I will update this blog post as more is learned.
