White smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel in Rome on Thursday afternoon, indicating the 133 cardinals locked inside had elected a successor to Pope Francis.
Bells rang in St. Peter’s Square, a band marched and played while thousands erupted in cheers. The new pope, the 267th, was expected to soon make an appearance on a balcony overlooking St. Peter’s Square.
His election came on the second day of the conclave that drew cardinals from 70 nations. The new pope, after the election, must decide if he wants to fill the role and if so, choose a name. He dons papal vestments in a chamber in the chapel known as the Room of Tears – named for the emotional reactions of popes who realize their new responsibilities.
