the white chimney smoke signifying the election of the new pope by the college of cardinals was not expected to be seen in such a short period of time, but I guess the cardinals were in agreement on who they wanted to be the next pope after Pope John Paul II...after the ringing church bells confirmed the pope's election the new pope came out of the balcony, spoke and prayed to the masses gathered at St. Peter's square.
The new pope is a 78 year old German, cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, whose new adopted papal name is Pope Benedict XVI.
may God help him be an example to people worldwide through his actions!!!
