"White Smoke, Episode 11" chronicles the historic 2013 conclave following Pope Benedict XVI's unprecedented resignation. The episode details how 115 cardinals gathered in the Sistine Chapel to elect a successor, ultimately choosing Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio on just the fifth ballot. As the first pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit, and the first to choose the name Francis, Bergoglio immediately signaled a new direction through his humility and simplicity—declining traditional papal finery, asking for the crowd's prayers before blessing them, and choosing to live in the Vatican guesthouse rather than the papal apartment.
