Vatican Finds New Pope, Jubilation in St. Peter's Square
Even if not on the first day, on the second day, Thursday, thick white smoke emerged from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel. Through this, the world was informed that the Vatican's Roman Catholic Church had found its new Pope.
Dear viewers, Please like this news and subscribe to the channel. Thousands of pilgrims and visitors waiting in St. Peter's Square erupted in applause. This signified that one of the 133 cardinals inside the chapel had received two-thirds of the votes and had been elected as the new Pope after passing the secret conclave.
Meanwhile, along with the white smoke, the bells of St. Peter's Basilica announced that the election process was over. The new Pope was elected on the fourth ballot, on the second day of the conclave. However, his identity was not immediately revealed.
Earlier, in 2013, when Jorge Bergoglio became Pope Francis, it was about 45 minutes after the white smoke appeared that he came out onto the balcony and appeared before the crowd.
Pope Francis died in April at the age of 88. His successor was elected quickly, especially since a large number of cardinals participated in this conclave. The majority of these cardinals were appointed by Francis himself and came from various parts of the world.
Many say that as a result, a Pope may emerge who will continue Francis's vision and work. However, this is not certain, as many new cardinals come from countries where social conservatism is strong, which clashes with Francis's liberal views.
Pope Francis alienated many conservative cardinals through his sympathetic attitude towards immigrants and refugees, his open attitude towards LGBTQ+ Catholics, and his call for action on the climate crisis.
