Vatican City,
19th April 2005 (CNA)
- At 17:56 in Rome, white smoke rose
from the chimney atop of the Sistine Chapel. The
Catholic Church has a new Pope. Soon
the name of the man chosen to succeed John Paul II
will be revealed when we hear the words Habemus
Papam pronounced from the balcony of St.
Peter´s. Catholics are celebrating.
The tolling of the bells ten minutes after
the smoke confirmed the affirmative signal. The
new Pontiff was elected after the fourth ballot on
the second day of the Conclave. Church bells
around the world announced this great joy.
