White smoke was pouring out of the Sistine Chapel chimney at the Vatican, signalling that a pope has been elected to lead the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church has a new leader, with the Augustinian cardinal Robert Prevost elected as Pope Leo XIV, his chosen name as Bishop of Rome. He is the first American pope and the first of African descent since the fifth century.

The white smoke has appeared, the people screamed, and now we wait for the new Pontiff to come out onto the balcony. Here's when that might happen.
