New Pope Elected by Catholic Church
A new pope has been elected by the Catholic Church, with white smoke emerging from the Sistine Chapel. The winner secured at least 89 votes from 133 participating cardinals. The name will be announced later in Latin from St. Peter’s Basilica. The excitement in St. Peter’s Square is contagious, with crowds cheering and bells ringing in Spain. However, black smoke emerged later on indicating no pope was elected yet.
