Conclave 2013 | New Pope White Smoke Seen at Vatican in Rome | The New York Times

[@Calvinxcix]

Wow this is amazing. I loved the way the smoke was black for 5 seconds then switched to white.

[@foxnewsfanify]

As a Catholic myself, I've always known nobody can put on a show like Rome. Ever. This was another awesome moment in the life of the most organized and the only Apostolic Church on Earth. Even a non Catholic friend of mine said when this happened, "Well, I will tell you that the Catholics do this well." Amen. God Bless. Cars.

[@theassassin8057]

Because our Church is very systematical. Unlike the protestants, anybody could be the shepherd of its flocks. Anyone could acknowledge themselves as a pastor or even prophets.

[@MsKTMvalley]

Holy smoke, a new Pope!

[@JoelPlay]

lol this one got me

[@millennium85]

I was there and I assure you that the emotion was very very much!!!

[@foxmerosullivan192]

Its moments like these is what really brings us all together as one.

[@valthoir]

as long as you're catholic

[@edgarpadilla8061]

I remember seeing this live! It was so exiting :)

[@thegamingpigeon3216]

lol so do I. Except I didn't really see it. I was home sick from school watching the news for 2 hours. Nothing had happened with the papal election so I switched to another channel for literally 10 seconds at most. Come back, white smoke all over

[@xxxXXXCH04XXXxxx]

@@thegamingpigeon3216 loooooooooooooooool

[@davidebrownstl]

I bet the altar boys were nervous!

[@johnanthonymaingat4755]

I always replay this video and it gives me goosebumps.

[@beacutie24]

seeing the smoke transforms from black to white gives me chills.. and the sound of the bells too..

[@madicineblue]

How beautiful, to hear all those people cheer like that.... amazing moment.

[@johannesnicolaas]

I was a bit ill that day, When I awoke, a little after 7 o'clock, I put on the radio, the first thing I heard was a journalist yelling loudly: White smoke, white smoke... What an evening remember. Yes, Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum, thill this day!!

[@Chrnan6710]

I remember getting on my school bus and looking up "new pope 2013" on my phone, and there was a video of white smoke posted 10 minutes before.

[@annaherc1]

''And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.'' Matthew 16:18 Pope Francis may the Holy Spirit guide you... Much love from Croatia!

[@dartlovesshana]

its good to see a brother of the faith defending his holiness in such hard times.

[@bubblinbrownsugar616]

Me too Goodies! Fascinating to watch and humbling to see all those people from around the world united together. :)

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

Why? With the rapidity of modern communications, it's broadcast virtually immediately, anyway.

[@futuredoc2020]

Matthew 16:18 "Peter, you are the rock upon which I found my church." Jesus said this to Peter, and he went on to found the Catholic church. John 21:7 is when Jesus told Saint Peter to "feed his sheep" with sheep referencing us.

[@oopsieguy]

I get chills and my eyes get so watery... what an exciting video

[@templecpa2002]

That must have been a thrill for the people there watching the smoke turn to white and hearing the bells and all the excitement.

[@lalaveroo]

This is such a beautiful moment! Those people are blessed to be there to witness the coming of the new pope

[@EdensSecret1]

I will pray for them xx

[@TommonSensePro]

1:03, off to the right, is that you Holy Spirit?

[@maxhenderson9836]

That's a bird

[@Illementary]

NO... it’s ROBERT LANGDON

[@TommonSensePro]

Looked liked a dove...and that’s why I asked if it was the Holy Spirit.

[@markdoyle2739]

The bells were rang because the smoke looked black and not white.

[@garfocusalternate]

People who love thought control love it because they've been indoctrinated into the love. Without a leader, they're scared and confused. But please, don't hate the people who've been fooled their whole lives, hate the idea that imprisons them.

[@bfrdasd]

you understand that as human we would find something to argue and fight about with or without religion

[@haroldgar12]

lol, good one. "I will deposit all of my savings, your worthy one!, Just tell me the address, electronic or money order, and email address" LOL

[@haroldgar12]

"DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING?!?!?!?!?!"

[@Perktube1]

This is one of those moments that one can get caught up in. =o)

Never in my life have i seen ppl go crazy over steam .....lmao

[@aeo17948]

Ave Christus Rex!

[@wka656]

Yes I just speak the truth the same how Jesus spoke the truth and stood up against the false teachers, The Pharisees !!

[@litosfs]

, lord hear our prays

[@鉨]

happy 10th anniversary

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

And, of course, the presence of beautiful paintings anywhere is proof positive by some incomprehensible correlation that no corruption exists.

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

You "adore" smoke pouring out of a chimney? That odd observation aside, just drive through suburbs during the winter; you can see that all day long.

[@Alchemisterius]

Correction: Confessing sins to a priest is because confessing them to God is WAY easier than confessing them to a priest.

[@Sigilstun]

Absolutely terrifying.

[@jayinmaine]

My father was a devout Catholic that adored St. Francis. If my father had somehow lived long enough to have witnessed this,it surely would have killed him

[@MrPirate408]

They're hot boxing in there while they're thinking ha ha

[@gregoryteter5823]

a pope only hates the sin, not the sinner. the real challenge is to love everyone, as he does

[@MySousa2010]

well said

[@jayinmaine]

Would've been a great night to have been in Buenos Aires

[@virgorising7388]

I had to explain to a co-worker who aped what they were saying on CNN because the Church paid billions to the victims of molestation. It is a large bureaucracy and these things are very hard to control. We haven't heard whether the Penn State Sandusky victims have been compensated, and they haven't closed Penn State, yet they knew about Sandusky 10 years ago and did nothing. It is a patten of abusers: they go where they can have access to their victims and an alibi. Are all coaches abusers?

[@lucylloyd5599]

Thx Hun...

[@emceemikko]

I saw a white bird flying over the white smoke. I want to believe that was the Holy Spirit and it brought tears to my eyes thinking that the newly-elected Pope has been showered with the the gifts of the Holy Spirit to make Pope Francis a good descendant of St. Peter. God bless Pope Francis!!! Viva il Papa!!!

[@jgonzo832]

@william a sooo right!

[@Alchemisterius]

Neither of both hated gay people, both Popes told people to have respect for gay people.

[@JavierHinojosa1980]

please, let us know more about your theories

[@alientranslator]

Yes good point. Truth? What is truth .. Truth appears abstract in words, concrete in actions.

[@deysiwhelan805]

I am really happy that we have a new pop. May god bless him and guide him to always do what is right.

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

Many people are humble. The guy who runs our local bait shop is humble. Hardly much of a distinction in any regard, unto itself.

[@fpbalat]

Thanks be to God!

[@Poli1348]

Amen!

[@Rebel897]

Because they are simply works of magnificent art intended to inspire us. They are not worshiped. They are not idols. They are not substitutes for anything. Imagine living in the time period when they were first created. Some people had never laid their eyes upon anything remotely beautiful as these images you bash. It helped give them hope and light in a world that was, and still is, quite dark.

[@br1rodriguelle]

Am I the only one who feels depressed when so many people start screaming?

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

A little clue for you; you take pride in an accomplishment, not in adopting any particular mindset.

[@jessenoelreyes4658]

It was 2:00 Am in the Philippines

[@julay1988]

Yes, so?

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

Any tradition, simply because of longevity, does not neccesarily make it valid, or worthwhile.

[@TheSluremus]

I am an atheist as well, and your comments make me sick to the bone. Let these people have their religion! I don't care what their faith is, as long as they don't preach it to me and respect the fact that I don't share it. Or to be more precise, I am a humanist. I believe in people. The human being. If you want to see a miracle, be the miracle. The best way to do that is to stop hating like you do, and start loving instead.

[@Moeman774746]

That is correct more or less. The Pope is supposed to be the symbol of Christ, thus the title Vicar of Christ. Peter was chosen by Jesus to lead his church, thus he is considered the first pope. Also with what you said about the popes being human and having their own faults, that is true for everyone one of them, even the saints. Francis I, seems like a man with much humility, a trait I find favorable.

[@reynaldointia7366]

good evening po pope narito po ko ung tingin ko sau

[@kaseycampion4348]

im watching this on tv now im 12 nd from ireland probly the most historical moment in my life!

[@guyi73]

Yeah, have you been to the Vatican? I have. It is a luxury beyond belief. They dress in gold lined cloth, their altars are made of priceless gems, their floors and walls are made from the finest marble, the walls are lined with priceless paintings and jewels....yeah, they are really concerned about the poor. What a fucking joke.

[@StarQualityWins]

I thought the pope declared polution a sin, and yet they use this smoke idea

[@Angry.General1461]

Dinner is burning and everybody cheers!!!!!

[@JoeyBower]

I agree, but whether or not it's for the right reasons, is for anyone of us to decide for ourselves. I for one don't have faith, and I don't agree with religion. But none the less, I understand why people believe it and how it can help some of us. I guess some of us just have a different mindset. Still nice to see things like this.

[@shanemaverick3526]

It seems to me that you are simply unwilling to address the issue of idolatry. "Hammer" brought up a clear cut, valid argument. You have no defense for it whatsoever. Does that not speak to you at all?

[@litosfs]

William....what you mean it doesn't matter, why are you even looking this up then. You should choose your words wisely. God bless you

[@simonadobb]

Jews happy he is now the new Pope. He has always been good to Jews and I think our interfaith relations will progress.

[@Shindler39]

Not centuries but at least for 10-15 years and in shape to be able to travel.

[@ADAMDUNKA]

I like how the Czech flag is twice as tall in the air than everyone else's

[@dolphindarkness]

Seriously, you can't judge all Catholic priests, bishops, etc people by the actions of others. Don't be so quick to judge.

[@coolmzn226]

I like how it's black for the first couple seconds "OH SHIT WRONG SMOKE"

[@seamus1956]

asteRISKY There’s always a bit of “just smoke”. It’s the burning of the conclave ballots. Once aflame, they add something to it to makes sure it’s black (no election) or white (habemus papam) and not some wishy-washy grey smoke to leave everyone wondering.

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

Really? Well, over five and a half billion of the world's population aren't paying any attention. So much for your "bringing us together as one" theory.

[@virgorising7388]

It is rumor only. Pope John XXIII did say, "The smoke of Satan has entered the citadel." The horror of it is not for fragile minds. Christ Jesus is no false prophet for he said he was more than a prophet and that those who see him have seen the Father. It is a mystery and goes on and on and on. The deepest well.

[@poyolahkau]

Smoke is bad for your lungs.

[@Cartridge03]

what does "pope" mean?

[@fox4god]

You are wrong- the Pope is supposed to lead God's people on Earth, not be God for them. Jesus didn't say to Peter 'Take my sheep as your own', but 'Feed my sheep'. You are right that no man can represent God perfectly. The Pope is human like the rest of us, has his strengths and weaknesses like the rest of us, and I believe he will do a good job as Pope. Not that I expect you to be able to understand that since you are blinded by hate...

[@walterjkennedy5244]

To witness a New Pope is to witness God selecting a person to lead the church and he's earth in the way he wants. These days of poverty and ruin, Pope Francis is the answer to the needy and a message to the rich that money is only material.

[@Theblaqueone716]

Am I the only person who cant see things involving the roman catholic church or the vatican and not think about the davinci code

[@AShyLily]

If you couldn't care less, why are you here? I'm a Catholic and I care.

[@ponyboyyramirez]

Bro we live in America, where we have Freedom of religion. You don't have to agree with that guy, I don't, but we unfortunately have to respect it.

[@pookdesnow]

Again JESUS, I offer you "THE GOLDEN ARROW" against those who blaspheme your HOLY NAME

[@hwanghoyoung9273]

Buddhism has wisdom, but Cathoilism has more than all teligions

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

It doesn't transform. A different process is simply used.

[@dolphindarkness]

Thanks be to God!! :) glorious day! Viva el Papa! Viva Dios!

[@paulinac7566]

Yeyyyy!!! So happy!!!

[@xXxFB4LxXx]

Your logic is flawed. If someone asked me what the square root of 144 was, and I said 12 but wasn't completely sure but I guessed, and got it right, is it not true because I guessed it without 100% assurance and was not positive it was truth? No, it's called faith. I believe that my religion is truth. I have followed the evidence to this conclusion, so it is my truth. Also, just because I'm religious does not mean my children will be too, I will encourage them to follow their own beliefs.

[@derkyderk1900]

Y’all never really seen those vapers huh.

[@yomasta4ever]

Sunday Law is near

[@palashvictor]

🙏🙏

[@MrLukeimurdad6]

pretty interesting how the new pope is from south america, it will be interesting to see how the new one pope is.

[@olefella7561]

Hope new Pope Francis from South America will help as native American people remain poorest citizens on their own land.Before Europeans came,Native population in North&South America Continent was 15 millions; European population in Europe was 30 millions.Today, native population at 30 million and Europeans at ONE BILLION!

[@xXxFB4LxXx]

Your exact words were "I am a pure atheist and that makes my filled with peace, love, truth, and honesty," implying that because you are a pure atheist, you have those qualities in your life. You came on this video, a video of religious excitement and significance, and started spreading hate. If you had those qualities in your life, what are you doing here hating on those who are seeking those qualities through their religion? It doesn't seem you have love as you claim you do.

[@MsFullheart]

the crowds!

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

What are you happy about? What motivation could you have for that response? These people are interchangeable.

[@angelicikkhe1689]

I don't care what people said, I do "believe" in Catholic Faith !

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

Which you, apparently void of any genuine motivation, chose to watch.

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

Jesus said feed my sheep, not abuse, rape and destroy the lives of my youngest sheep, and then shuffle yourselves around in a stealthy attempt to avoid criminal prosecution like deviant cowards.

[@shanemaverick3526]

Even the demons believe...and tremble.
