[quote:26428]VATICAN CITY (CNN) -- Black smoke exited a chimney atop the Sistine Chapel on Monday, indicating a vote was taken and a pope was not selected.

Roman Catholic cardinals from six continents locked themselves inside the Vatican's Sistine Chapel to begin a historic conclave to select a successor to Pope John Paul II.

The 115 cardinals from 52 countries entered the chapel in a solemn procession that was broadcast live around the world.

The walked from the Hall of Blessings into the chapel as "The Litany of Saints" was sung. Once the cardinals were inside, the invocation of the Holy Spirit, "Veni, Creator Spiritus," was sung.

The cardinals -- clad in crimson robes, shoulder capes and hats -- each took an oath of secrecy, vowing not to disclose the discussions that take place in the conclave.

They will emerge from the conclave only when they have chosen the first new pontiff of the third Christian millennium and the 264th successor to St. Peter.
