Rise of Clement XII Pope after Conclave Scrutiny
The article details the papal election at St Peter's after a scrutiny on the 12th. Cardinal Corfini led the call of annunciation, the crowd roared, and the Deacon announced Papam Habemus. The new pope chose the name Clement XII, received the toe-kissing ceremony, and later appeared to receive nobles and foreign princes before being led to the Vatican altar in full pontifical robes.
