•Papal elections aren't always as dramatic as 'Conclave,' but the history behind the process is, says historian
85% Informative
Based on Robert Harris' 2016 novel, the film shows the politics behind electing a pope to lead the world's 1.36 billion Catholics .
It took centuries for the church to develop an electoral system free from manipulations and violence.
The word "conclave" comes from the Latin words for "with key," referring to how cardinals are sequestered to elect a pope.
At the death of Gregory XI in 1378 , the cardinals elected Pope Urban VI, but soon regretted it.
A few months later , they deposed him and elected a new one, under the pretext that the first election took place under duress: the fear of the mobs.
Two popes, two courts and two "obediences" divided Europe .
