A new Pope was elected this afternoon after white smoke appeared poured
out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City signalling
the election of a new Pontiff to lead the Catholic Church.
Thousands
cheered in St. Paul's Square at the sight of the symbolic plumes rose,
signalling that a successor to Benedict XVI had been chosen after two
days of intense voting.
The new pope is expected to appear on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica within an hour, after a church official announced 'Habemus Papum - We have a pope' - and gave the name of the new pontiff in Latin.
