BREAKING: Conclave Elects New Pope

37

Cardinals have selected the 267th leader of the Catholic Church, the Vatican has reported.

Naija News reports that the white smoke has risen above the Sistine Chapel, the signal that cardinals have chosen a new pope on the second day of the conclave. His identity, and the name he will take as pontiff, will be revealed soon.

There are 133 voting cardinals, who have all been sequestered inside the Vatican during the conclave. Any one of them needed two-thirds of the vote to become the next pope.

More to come…
