	Papal conclave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A papal conclave is the process by which the Roman Catholic Church elects the Bishop of Rome who, as he is considered the "Successor of Saint Peter," is also the Pope, the head of the Church.
		The last election by compromise was that of John XXII (1316), and the last election by acclamation was that of Gregory XV (1621).
		Gregory VII was the last to submit to the interference of the Holy Roman Emperors; the breach between him and the Holy Roman Empire caused by the Investiture Controversy led to the abolition of the Emperor's role.

		A papal election is the method by which the Roman Catholic Church fills the office of Bishop of Rome, whose incumbent is known as the Pope, the head of the Church.
		A Synod of the Lateran held in 1139 removed the requirement that the assent of the lower clergy and the laity be obtained.
		Popes have often written "election constitutions" fine-tuning the rules for the election of their successors: Pope Pius XII's Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis of 1945 governed the conclave of 1958, Pope John XXIII's Summi Pontificis Electio of 1962 that of 1963, and Pope Paul VI's Romano Pontifici Eligendo of 1975 those of 1978.
