April 19, 200520 yr It's all about to happen!!!! Stay glued to the TV, history in the making! Edited April 19, 200520 yr by AddisonStSox
April 19, 200520 yr Author Amazing. Nobody knows what is happening. They are saying that this vote is an hour earlier than expected yet still no bells.
April 19, 200520 yr It doesn't really look white, but it definately doesn't look like the black smoke of this morning or yesterday.
April 19, 200520 yr An early appearence of smoke oughta signify an agreement has been reached. I think it's a done deal. It appears we have a Pope.
April 19, 200520 yr Author Now they are tolling the bells for the top of the hour and the people are cheering.
April 19, 200520 yr Oh boy, after hearing/reading those conflicting reports of the pope's death, I'm just going to put my excitement on hold. /reserved

The Italian media is saying there is a new pope, but they were the ones that prematurely reported JP's death.
April 19, 200520 yr lol this stuff is great, the smoke stops and everyone is quiet. Now its slightly coming out, and more cheers. BELLS!
April 19, 200520 yr 265th Pope in the history of the Church! To go to class, or not to go to class--that is the question.
April 19, 200520 yr It is now being reported as official. A Pope was elected on the 4th ballot. And the crowd goes wild!
April 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) That was fast. Fastest in more than 100 years.
April 19, 200520 yr Author I can't really describe what I feel right now. I'm not Catholic, but this is a MOMENT in history.
