In 1271, with the papal throne vacant for over two years, local
officials locked the cardinals of the Catholic Church in a room,
forcing them to select a new pope. From this inauspicious beginning
arose the practice of the conclave, the highly secretive
combination of rituals and politics designed to select a new leader
for the world's Catholic population. With Pope John Paul II ailing,
the time for a new conclave draws nearer, and Rome is preparing for
over 6,000 journalists and innumerable interested onlookers to
descend on the Eternal City to witness the election of the next
leader of the Catholic Church. In The Conclave, prominent Catholic
historian Michael Walsh takes readers through the history of
conclaves past, highlighting the vendettas, feuds, and political
intrigues that have colored the selection of a new pontiff. An
entertaining history of the secret deliberations, colorful stories,
and even bloody events that surround the making and unmaking of
popes, The Conclave is a great story, a great history, and an
important work for anyone interested in the papacy.
