A crowd in the Vatican’s main square exploded in applause when white smoke began to leave the sistine chaminé on Thursday (8), indicating that a new pope was elected.
Faithful were seen crying, priests hugged and others raised flags from their countries.
The new Pope should be introduced to the public next time.
What are the next steps after the Pope’s election?
Cardinal Protodiácono, Dominique Mamberti, will go to the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica soon to announce to the faithful the words “Habemus Papam”.
After a few minutes of the announcement, the new pontiff should appear to the crowd in St. Peter’s Square and say a first prayer.
In about four to five days the first Pope’s first mass should be held.
