I've always liked the announcement in Latin on the naming of a new Pope:

Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum; habemus Papam:

Eminentissimum ac Reverendissimum Dominum,
Dominum Josephum Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem Ratzinger, qui sibi nomen imposuit Benedictum XVI.


I announce great tidings; we have a Pope:

Most Eminent and Most Reverend Joseph [of the] Holy Roman Church Cardinal Ratzinger, who has taken the name Benedict XVI.
