And twitter goes wild as white smoke is seen coming from the chimney on the Sistine Chapel. The 1.2 billion Catholics are rejoicing.

There’s a new Catholic pope, signals the white smoke coming from the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican.

The 266th pope of the worldwide Catholic Church will be revealed shortly when he takes to the balcony in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican Square.

Thousands, including seminarians studying in Rome from Michigan and other clerics with Michigan-based roots, have crowded Vatican square.

In February, Pope Benedict XVI stunned Catholics all over the world by announcing plans to resign his post as leader of the Roman Catholic Church. The historic resignation, which officially took place on Feb. 28, made Benedict the first living pope to vacate his office in 600 years.

Update: Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires will be next pope
