On Thursday evening, 133 cardinals chose the new pope in the Sistine Chapel. The decision was made in the fourth vote. On St. Peter’s Square, believers and curious people were patiently for the famous white smoke.
The pope basilica is surrounded by deflections. Hundreds of waiting for the church on Thursday. Dozens of Carabinieri and paramedics ensure that everything goes its orderly passage.
“I hope the next pope will be just like Francis,” said believer Isabel Dominguez (59). “We want to pay our respect for Pope today. He was great,” said the woman from the Dominican Republic, who now lives in the United States. Francis was a modest servant from whom many could learn. She had planned the trip to Rome with her 80-year-old mother long before the pope’s death.
Atheists also curious
The 28-year-old Jewgeni, who lives in Madrid, said that the church and all religions should become more flexible and open. He describes himself as an atheist that he was still curious. “We were on St. Peter’s Square last night.” “We are curious what the grave looks like,” said 46-year-old Stefano, who is currently in front of a tennis tournament in Rome.
In the church, many clergymen were on the road on Thursday. The Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, in which Francis was buried at the end of April, became a new pilgrimage location that has already attracted thousands of people.
Rome is currently overcrowded, endless car series torture itself through the historic center.
