Not one hour ago white smoke was sighted from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel signaling to the world that a new pope has been elected. Amid a flurry of confusion the throngs of faithful hurried to St. Peters Square but all questions were dispelled when the bells of the Basilica began to ring.
The first sight of the new Pontif on the balcony brought cheers from every corner of the square and of the world as Catholics everywhere rejoiced at the election of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger as the 250th pope, who has taken the name Benedict XVI.
Habemus Papam
Viva il Papa
