Claim: Acclamation, one of the three processes recognized by Quia propter, a document issued by the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 on the subject of papal elections, for unanimous agreement, is rare and often driven more by crowd dynamics than discussion among the electors.
Evidence: Quia propter (Latin: "Wherefore by…") was a document issued by the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 on the subject of papal elections. It recognized three processes for unanimous agreement: "acclamation", "scrutiny" (balloting), and "compromissum" (compromise committee). Acclamation was rare, and often driven more by crowd dynamics than discussion among the electors.
