Your support makes all the difference.White smoke has been sighted at the Vatican, indicating that a new pope has been elected - although at time of writing, we don't yet know who it is. Here are some of the choicest reactions on Twitter:

@TomChivers: A pip, pop, a pippy, a pippy, a pip-pip-pope they've just picked a pope
@stuheritage: New Pope now busy pouring his curves into his new robe for the cameras
@sera_mcdaid: For so many who claim to have no interest in religion you lot are mighty interested in some fella in a funny hat over in Rome.
@davidschneider: White smoke! We have a pope! We have a pope! No, hold on, he's just resigned...
