BREAKING: New Pope finally elected as white smoke emerges from Sistine Chapel Chimney
The wait is finally over. White smoke billowing from the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel has signaled the election of a new Pope.
After several days of solemn deliberations, the 133 Cardinal electors have reached a decision on who will lead the Catholic Church into its next chapter.
Thousands of faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square erupted in anticipation as the symbolic plume appeared—confirmation that a new spiritual leader has been chosen.
The election follows the passing of Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88. In the wake of his death, the College of Cardinals convened in conclave to select his successor.
The Vatican is expected to formally present the new Pontiff shortly, ushering in a new era for the global Catholic community.
