White smoke has been witnessed rising above the Sistine Chapel, which is a signal that the cardinals have chosen a new Pope.
The new Pope has been chosen on the second day of the conclave, although his identity and name is yet to be revealed.
According to the Pope’s elections, once a candidate receives two-thirds of the vote, he will be asked if he accepts the canonical election as Supreme Pontiff and the name he would wish to be called.
133 voting cardinals have been inside the Vatican during the conclave.
For the Pope to be chosen, the new Pope needed two-thirds of the vote to become the next Pope.
Currently, the bells of St. Peter’s Basilica are ringing to welcome the news that a new Pope has been elected.
The crowd at the Vatican’s main square burst into applause when the white smoke began to pour out of the Sistine Chapel’s chimney.
