On May 8, 2025, local time in Vatican City, white smoke rose from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel at 18:08 (23:08 in Thailand), a sign of joy for Christians around the world after 133 cardinals in a secret conclave were able to successfully elect a new head of the Catholic Church on the second day of the conclave.
Cheers erupted in St. Peter's Square as Cardinal Dominic Memberti declared "Habemus Papam," or "We have a Pope," followed by the appearance of Pope Leo XIV in the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica. Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, is a 69-year-old American from Chicago. He is the 267th pope and the first American in the history of the Catholic Church. The name Leo, which means "lion" in Latin, signifies strength, courage, and compassionate leadership.
