White smoke!
Habemus Papam!
White smoke drifted up from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Thursday evening, indicating that the cardinals inside the conclave have elected the next pope.
The pope was selected on the second day of voting. He is expected to greet the crowds in St. Peter's Square in about an hour.

It looks like the Cardinals did not follow JD's advice to take their time.
May God have mercy on the man they have elected, and equip him with every grace to lead His Church
