White smoke signals cardinals have selected a new pope
FOX NEWS!!
White smoke billowed from the Vatican's Sistine Chapel Wednesday,
indicating the cardinals have selected a new pope after two days worth
of voting.
Cardinals have
elected a successor to Benedict XVI, who stunned the Catholic world last
month by becoming the first pope in 600 years to resign. Crowds packing
St. Peter's Square were seen waving flags and were cheering the
announcement as bells were ringing.
The new pope, who has yet
to be identified, became the winner after receiving at least 77 votes,
which is more than two thirds of the cardinals.
The new pope is
expected to appear on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica within an
hour, after a church official announces "Habemus Papum" -- "We have a
pope" -- and gives the name of the new pontiff in Latin.
The
conclave drama played out against the backdrop of the church's need both
for a manager who can clean up a corrupt Vatican bureaucracy and a
pastor who can revive Catholicism in a time of growing secularism.
