White Smoke! A New Pope Has Been Chosen

Description:White smoke has emerged from the Sistine Chapel, and bells are ringing in St. Peter’s Square, signaling a pope has been selected. The 266th pope is expected to be introduced shortly to a joyous crowd in Vatican City. Seventy-seven votes were required to confirm a new pontiff to step into the shoes left empty by the historic resignation of Benedict XVI at the end of last month. (4:24)
