Was the Vatican where they decided that Benedict was going to be the new pope?

The Vatican is the place where the Worlds Cardinals meet to make the decision. The Cardinals pray and discuss all the candidates and each day they vote. At the end of each day when the voting is complete, if there is no positive decision on the new pope, the voting ballots are burned and the smoke that rises tells the world if a decision has been made. Black smoke, no decision, white smoke and we have a new pope. This process goes on for days and could go on for weeks until a decision is made. This is an important decision for Catholics and really for all christians as the Pope is the next successor to Saint Peter (the rock) who was the first Pope.
