Huh, that didn’t take as long as I expected.

Holy #WhiteSmoke Batman, we have a new #pope!

The identity of the new pontiff is not yet known. #Vatican officials are expected to announce his name in Latin from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica shortly.

Cardinal Dominique Mamberti, a 73-year-old Frenchman born in Morocco, is expected to make the announcement — unless he himself is elected pope.

Then the new pope himself will appear & address the crowd.
