Notes on the 1922
"Canonists' Conclave"
Cardinal Piffl (Vienna)
kept private records during the papal conclave that elected
Achille Ratti
as Pius XI. These were discovered after Piffl's
death in 1932, and published in The Tablet on 5 Oct. 1963, at 1060. They are also available in
J.
Noonan, Power to Dissolve
(1972), at 407.
According to Piffl, 15 candidates received
at least one vote in the course of 14 ballots held during the
four-day conclave.
Below, candidates names (canon lawyers in bold) are listed by greatest number of votes
attained in one or more ballots:
Ratti 42
Gasparri 24
La Fontaine 23
Merry de Val 17
Maffi 10
Belmonte 8
Laurenti 5
Bisleti 4
Van Rossum 4
De Lai 2
Pompilj 2
Giorgi 1
Lega 1
Mercier 1
Sbaretti 1
These records suggest what
I think might well be called "The
Canonists' Conclave of 1922." PS: Retaining personal notes such
as Piffl did is now forbidden by papal law (UDG 71).

The
Next Papal
Conclave: Current Eligible Electors
by
Dr. Edward N. Peters
The election of
the Roman Pontiff has been reserved to the College of Cardinals since
late in the 13th century. Under current ecclesiastical law (John Paul
II, ap. con.
Universi Dominici gregis,
22 February 1996) all those, but only those, cardinals
under the age of 80 are eligible to vote, except that cardinals whose
names remained reserved by the pope "in pectore"
(currently none) would be ineligible
(UDG 33, 36). There are presently
118 cardinals, some of them
retired (emeritus) from their last posts, eligible to vote in
the next papal conclave (this papally self-imposed limit of 120
is occasionally exceeded). Voting is secret
and politicking is prohibited (UDG 79-83), but the following "blocs"
are noteworthy: approximately 38 Europeans (outside Italy);
21 Italians; 20 Latin
Americans; 13 Americans
 (plus at least
6 more from heavily Anglo-cultures);
and 8 Emergent Africans.
