HABEMUS PAPAM! This evening the Vatican City witnessed a historical moment with the celebration of the traditional Missa Pro Eligendo Summo Pontifice and the Papal Conclave for the election of a new Pontiff. After eight ballots and a period of reflection, the College of Cardinals chose a new Holy Father, who was publicly announced by the Camerlengo and late Secretary of State.

Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum; Habemus Papam: Eminentissimum ac Reverendissimum Dominum, Dominum Antonius Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem de Croatiae qui sibi nomen imposuit Vincenzo.

While the Conclave was taking place inside the Sistine Chapel, Saint Peter's Square was crowded by more than 135 clergy and faithful who were awaiting for the new Pope to appear on the balcony of the Basilica. The Holy See now enters a new period of renovation and changes under the pontificate of the newly elected Holy Father Vincent I, who is expected to issue a statement and appoint a new Roman Curia during the next few days. The Vatican City expresses gratitude to the international community for the support received lately.
