Article: New Pope elected

White smoke billowed from a Sistine Chapel chimney on Wednesday to show that a new pope has been elected to replace the frail Benedict XVI as leader of the world's 1.2 billon Catholics.

I just have a question.

All these guys are from the same religion, so we can assume they all prayed to the same God, why did it then take 5 rounds to reach a conclusion? If all of them prayed, and God answered them all, shouldn't the vote have been unanimous 1st time round ?
