This, however takes place before the conclave has actually met for the papal election. The Sstine chapel is especially fitted for the holding of this momentous council of the church.

When mass has been said and all is prepared the conclave proceeds to it's solemn task. The election of pope is effected by three methods-by exclamation or ordination, which is embodied in the idea of direct divine inspiration; by compromise or by vote.
 The late Pope Leo was elected on the second day of the conclave by acclama- tion. The system of voting, called the scrutinum. is regulated by exact pre- scription The proceedings are under the directions of six cardinals, two from each order of bishops. priests and deacons. Every cardinal is provided with voting paper on which he writes the name of his chosen candidate. but not his dwn name.
