A new pope was chosen on the second day of the conclave, signaled by white smoke rising from a chimney above the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City.

The new leader of the Catholic Church is expected to address the massive crowd in St. Peter’s Square within moments.

The election of the new pope comes less than three weeks after Pope Francis passed away, the day after Easter, after he was hospitalized with pneumonia.
