Today, white smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, signaling to the world that a new pope has been elected by the College of Cardinals.

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has been chosen as the 267th Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church. He is the first American ever to be elected to the papacy. Upon his election, he adopted the papal name Pope Leo XIV, in accordance with centuries-old tradition.

This historic conclave concluded swiftly, with the election occurring just two days after it began—marking only the fifth time since 1900 that a new pope has been elected so quickly.
