White smoke signals - Catholic cardinals choose new pope

White smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday, proclaiming the selection of a new pope by Roman Catholic cardinals on their second day of voting.

The name of the man chosen to replace Pope Benedict XVI will be announced within the next minutes, to the famous Latin phrase “habemus papam" ("we have a pope"). The bells of St. Peter's Basilica tolled to confirm the selection.

Thousands of people who packed St. Peter's Square roared approval and chanted, "habemus papam."
