Established in the mid-13th century by Pope Gregory X, the conclave was designed to speed up the decision-making process, thereby minimizing external influence and ensuring a unified choice for the new Pope. The conclave involves isolating cardinals, holding secret ballots, and adhering to specific rules that prioritize unanimity, secrecy, and swiftness in the election.
