White Smoke Videos

Videos of the White Smoke of October 26, 1958

On October 26, 1958, at 5:55 PM (Rome time) White Smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel for a full five minutes. This indicated that a Pope had been elected, had accepted, and had chosen a name. (Only then do the priests at the stove push in dry straw to make the white smoke.) But no Pope emerged. Two days later, John XXIII emerged to the cheers of the world press. What happened? For the fullest explanations available, see the important articles linked on the home page, “Comments on the Eclipse of the Church and the White Smoke of October 26, 1958” — and — “Grave Reasons of State”.
