The chimney placed at the top of the Sistine chapel Expelled White Smoke on Thursday (8), around 1:08 pm (Brasília time), announcing to the world that a new porridge was chosen by the cardinals during the conclave .
As soon as the new pontiff is announced, still in the Sistine Chapel for the Cardinal Voters, the chosen one is taken to the “Room of Tears”, where he dresses with the white cassock.
On site, Cardinal Protodiácono, Dominique Mamberti, asks the elected: “How do you want to be called?” And the new Pope chooses the name.
Traditionally, it takes about 30 to 60 minutes for the new pope to appear on the balcony overlooking St. Peter’s Square after white smoke.
Habemus Papam
Upon learning the new name, Mamberti goes to the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, where the official announcement is made to the world with the Latin phrase “Habemus Papam” (Latin for “we have a Pope”).
Followed by the official announcement in Latin:
“Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: habemus papam! [Nome de Batismo] Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem [Sobrenome]qui sibi nomen impiit [Nome Papal]. ”
In the Portuguese translation:
“I announce a great joy: we have a pope! The most eminent and reverend Lord [primeiro nome ou nome próprio] Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church [sobrenome] that takes the name [nome papal]. ”
After the statement, the new Pope first appears to the world and, in his first act, grants the blessing Urbi et Orbi, from Latin “to the city [de Roma] and to the world, to the whole universe. ”
Days after the election, the Pope formally assumes the post of leader of the Catholic Church of more than 1.4 billion faithful around the world.
