A new pope has been chosen after several rounds of voting by Catholic cardinals at the Vatican.

The appearance of white smoke from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Thursday confirmed that a two-thirds majority had been reached, signaling the election of a new pontiff.

The conclave, which began on Wednesday, brought together 133 cardinals from across the globe.

It was convened in the wake of Pope Francis’ death—born Jorge Mario Bergoglio—who passed away on Easter Monday at the age of 88.

The newly elected pontiff now becomes the 267th head of the Roman Catholic Church. Further details, including the identity of the new pope, are expected shortly.
