At 2:07pm EST (7:07pm in Rome), the white smoke rose from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel. Moments later the bells of Saint Peter`s Basilica began to ring, signalling to the world that the election of the new Holy Father has taken place.
The bells will chime until His Eminence, Jean-Louis Tauran, the senior Cardinal-deacon appears on the central balcony of Saint Peter`s Basilica to announce to the world the famous words: Habamus papam!
