THE RIGHT OF EXCLUSION

The right of exclusion means the
alleged competence of the more i'm
portant Catholic countries, Austria,
France, and Spain, to indicate to
their respective cardinal protector, or
cardinal procurator, those members
of the Sacred College who were per-
son@ minue grata, so that, if there
was possibility of one of these be-
coming pope, the authorized cardinal
might, before the decisive ballot, give
his veto, in the name of his govern
ment, against such election. At one
time this veto was given orally; later
it was given in writing. The car
dinal protector, or cardinal procura-
tor, who cast the veto, was, as a rule,
that member of the Sacred College
who had been created a cardinal at

great care is taken to prevent writ

the bishop sacristan; the ballots are
distributed and then all are excluded
except the cardinals, one of whom
bolts the door.

however, hereto, a schismatic, or

and indisputable act of heresy. There
are four possible forms of election.
The usual form is that of secret bal

requires two-thirds vote exclusive
of his own. When there is close

pope-elect, which. like all the others,
is distinguishable by text of Scrip
ture written on one of it's outside
folds, is opened to make sure that he
did not vote for himself. Each car
dinal deposits his vote in the chalice
on the altar and at the same time
takes the prescribed oath: II call to
witness the Lord Christ, Who will be
my judge, that am electing the one
whom according to God think ought
to be elected" etc.
For this election by secret ballot
three cardinals are chosen by lot
each time to preside over the opera
tion of voting, three others to control
the count of their colleagues, and
still three others to collect the ballots
of the sick and absent cardinals. If
the sick cardinals cannot attend the
balloting. then the three cardinals go

them in the chalice with the others.
Then. all the ballots having been
shaken up and counted, if the num-
Der agrees with the number of cleo
tors, the chalice is brought to the
table and the ballots, on the outside
of which appear the names of the
candidates, are passed from hand to
hand to the third cardinal, who read
the names aloud. All present are pro-
vided with lists on which the names
Of all the cardinals appear, and it is
customary for the cardinals to check
off the votes as they are read. Then
the three cardinal revisors verify the
result, which is proclaimed as def
mite.

date receives the necessary two
thirds vote, recourse is often had to

this difference, that If the elector
wishes his vote to count for his first
choice he writes Accedo nemini; If
he changes his vote he introduces

the two series of ballots have to be
compared and identified by the text
on the reverse face of the ballot, so
as to prevent a double vote for the
same candidate by any elector. When
the required two-thirds are not OBJ

cease, unless another day has been
assigned. Every precaution is OBJ
served to exclude those who have no
right within the enclosure, and also
unnecessary communication with the
outside. Papal legislation has long
since forbidden the once customary
"capitulations," or ante-elechon
agreements binding on the new pope;
it is also forbidden the cardinals to
treat of the papal succession among
themselves during the pope's life
time; the pope may, however, treat
of the matter with the cardinals. Alb

All true cardinals, as stated, may
enter the conclave, but those only
who have received deacon's orders
have right to vote, unless they have
received special indult from the
late pope. Cardinals who have been
preconized, but not yet elevated to
the purple, are entitled by decision
of St. Plus v (1571) both to be pres
ent and to vote.
Including the cardinals, prelates.
and conclavists, there are perhaps
two hundred and fifty persons in the
enclosure. The government of the
conclave is in the hands of the car
dinal camerlengo and of the three
representative cardinals who succeed
one another in order of seniority
every three days. About seven or
eight o'clock in the morning of the
eleventh day the cardinals assemble
in the Pauline Chapel and assist at
the Mass of the cardinal dean. For
merly they wore the special garment
of the conclave, called the crocea.
They receive Communion from the
hands of the cardinal dean, and lis
ten to Latin allocution on their OBJ
legations to select the most worthy
person for the Chair of st. Peter. At
ter Mass they retire for a few mo-

takes place. There six candles are

the paten and chalice to be used in
