Resources in the Vatican report that the necessary votes for the pope’s election need to be collected tonight or morning May 9.
Note that the first Conclave vote in the Vatican Sistine Chapel ended with black smoke on May 7. It is also not possible to choose a pontiff on the morning of May 8.
At this time, 133 Cardinals from 71 countries selected a new pope.
Pontiff’s announcement will take place according to a clear tradition:
-
First, Habemus Papam, we sounded Dad;
-
Subsequently – another Latin Latin says;
-
After that, the Cardinal Protodiacon will announce the name of the new father – the name of birth (in Latin form) first;
-
The last name also sounds;
-
And in conclusion – they will announce a name that the elected cardinal accepts as the Pope.
A new Pontiff should appear on the balcony going to St. Peter Square within an hour after his election.
Remember that all the Cardinals who choose the next dad came to Rome.
