Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI
At 6:43 Rome time, after the appearance of the "fumata bianca" or white smoke, the Cardinal protodeacon, Jorge Arturo Medina Estevez, gave the announcement to the people from the "loggia" or balcony of benediction at the front of the Vatican Basilica with these words:
Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum; habemus Papam:
Eminentissimum ac Reverendissimum Dominum,
Dominum Josephum
Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem Ratzinger
qui sibi nomen imposuit Benedictum XVI
(I announce to you a great joy: We have a Pope,
the Most Eminent and Reverend Joseph,
Cardinal of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, Ratzinger
Who has taken the name of Benedict XVI.)
