The recent election of a new pope by 133 Roman Catholic cardinals was marked by the traditional signaling of white smoke from the Sistine Chapel. Excitement fills Rome as thousands gather to witness this historic moment. Cardinal Dominique Mamberti is expected to announce the pope's identity. The rituals following the election involve the senior cardinal asking the new pope about his acceptance of the role and his chosen papal name. This culminates in a Latin proclamation of 'Habemus Papam!' and a blessing given by the new pontiff to the faithful.
The excitement in Rome is palpable as thousands gather near the Via della Conciliazione awaiting the historic announcement of the new pope, who will lead 1.4 billion Catholics.
Following the election, the most senior cardinal asks the new pope if he accepts the election, and upon acceptance, they also inquire about the name he wishes to adopt.
