✍️ The article discusses the Viterbo conclave in the 13th century, which was the longest papal election in the history of the Catholic Church, lasting almost three years.
👉 The Viterbo conclave was the longest papal election in the history of the Catholic Church, lasting almost three years. 👉 The cardinals were divided over the name of the new pope, leading to a prolonged and exhausting process. 👉 The locals grew frustrated and took drastic measures to speed up the process, including locking the cardinals in the papal palace and restricting their meals. 👉 The conclave finally ended with the election of Gregory X as the new pope, who promulgated a new apostolic constitution to impose strict regulations on future papal elections. 👉 The Viterbo conclave laid the foundation for many of the procedures used currently in papal conclaves.
