dinal Vannutelli, as dean of the sacred
college, arose and proceeded to the
throne Of the chosen one, accompanied
BON either side by Cardinals Logue and
Bisieti, respectively deans of the
cardinal priests and the cardinal deac-
ons. He was asked in Latin by Car
dinal Vannutelli, in accordance with
the custom, if he accepted the posi-
ton to be supreme pointiff and the new
pope answered with the formal "Since
it is the will Of God, must obey"
Takes Name "Fius XII"
Then the purple canopies over the
thrones to the cardinals were let down
one by one until only that over the new
pontiff remained. This was done to
show that the whole sacred college
rendered obeisanee to the new head of
the church. Dean Vannutelli thereup-
on asked the new incumbent what name
he chose to take during his pontifcate
and upon his reply "Pius XI" Monsig-
nor Sincere, secretary of the conclave,
verified his election to the papal chair.
The new Pope was then escorted to
the ante-room within the Sistine chapel
where he discarded his cardinals robes
assisted by the conclavists and the
papal vestments, which had been held
in readiness since the opening of the
conclave, were placed upon him. These
included the white cassock, white sash.
white stockings, red slippers, a red
and gold mozzetta and finally the stole
of red worked with gold.
Leaves for st. Peters.
Meanwhile Pope Plus XI after wait
ing for some moments in the Clemen-
tine hall, had left for st. Peters ac-
companied by the members of the
sacred college. Arriving at the bal
cony at the entrance inside the cathe-
dral, he raised his hand and bestowed
on the multitude his first benediction.
He then returned to the Vatican where
although reigning, the Popes have
remained virtual prisoners until their
death.
The pontiff, fully vested with the
papal garb and accompanied by his
cardinals thereupon returned to the
throne he had occupied in the Sistine
chapel.
There the cardinals, according to
their rank and headed by Vannutelli,
made their first act of alteration to
His Holiness, kissing first his feet and
then his hands, after which the Pope
received them in embrace, and be-
slowed upon them his first apostolic
benediction.
The "fsherman's ring'' was placed
on his finger and he left the chapel, the
whole assembly vending it's way
through the Sala DucaIe and the Sala
Regia, along the Loggias to the Sala
Clementine, the Pope's official resi-
dence. Along the way he received
the homage of attaches who served
during the conclave.
Meanwhile the dean of the cardinal
deacons, Bisleti followed by several
cardinals repaired to the central bal
cony of st. Peters from which the cleo
tions of scores of Popes have been of
ficially proclaimed to the world and
solemnly announced to the great crowds
awaiting expectantly below:
81 announce to your great joy the
election Of the pontiff."
This confirmed to the throngs in st.
Peters square the election which had
been indicated by the thin stream of
white smoke which came from the
metal stove pipe projecting from the
roof of the Sistine chapel when the
voting papers of the final ballot were
burned.
