First American pope elected and will be known as Pope Leo XIV

I wonder if there is any other event in recent history that is communicated as quickly to as many people as the fact that a new pope has been elected.

I was out on the streets when the church bells started ringing here in Vienna as must have all around the globe where there are catholic churches

Pretty sure the US presidential election is on par.

Maybe the exact timing is ambiguous since candidates usually declare victory/admit defeat before all the votes have been counted officially, but still.
