Thursday May 8, 2025 |

White smoke has emerged from the chimney in the Vatican, signalling the election of a new pope of Catholic Church.

The new pope is expected to appear on the balcony overlooking St Peter’s Square in the next hour.

A senior cardinal will soon confirm the decision with the words “Habemus Papam” – Latin for “we have a Pope” – and introduce the new pontiff by his chosen papal name.
