White smoke has come out of Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, signalling that a new head of the Roman Catholic Church has been elected. Cardinal Dominique Mamberti is expected to announce the new pontiff’s identity soon – unless he himself is the elected pope – while Vatican officials are expected to announce the new pope’s Latin name from St. Peter’s Basilica’s balcony shortly, according to various media reports.
