45 minutes is up.

 

[Lumutqueen]

Vatican TV are in control of the BBC pictures and they were focusing on the balcony.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

BBC reported the same thing, saying this was done after the 3rd ballot, and 2008 was 4th.

Strange. Had they choosed during the 3:rd ballot we would have seen white smoke earlier today instead of black

 

[BrazilianEmpire]

One thing is for sure: we have a new Monarch in the World, guys.

"Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus Papam!
Eminentissimum ac Reverendissimum Dominum [Christian name], Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem [surname], qui sibi nomen imposuit [official papal name]”
