Issues facing the conclave
John XXIII's death left the future of the Second Vatican Council in the balance, as the election of an anti-Council pope could have severely curbed the Council's role and influence in Roman Catholic Church. The Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, or Vatican II, was the twentieth century Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church. The battle between conservatives and liberals was reflected in the struggle during the conclave between Council supporters and opponents. Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favour Tradition, where tradition refers to various religious cultural or nationally defined Liberalism is a broad array of related ideas and theories of Government that consider individual Liberty to be the most important political goal The leading papabile supporter of the Council was seen as Giovanni Battista Montini of Milan, while its main opponent was seen as Giuseppe Siri of Genoa, who in 1958 had been seen as Pope Pius XII's preferred successor. Papabile /pa'pabile/ ( pl papabili) is an unofficial Italian term first coined by Vaticanologists and now used internationally Pope Giuseppe Cardinal Siri ( May 20, 1906 &mdash May 2, 1989) was an Italian Prelate of the Roman Catholic Year 1958 ( MCMLVIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Pope Reportedly, John XXIII had sent oblique signals indicating that he thought Montini would make a fine pope.
The conclave was held from June 19 to June 21, at the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Events 1179 - The Norwegian Battle of Kalvskinnet outside Nidaros. Events 524 - Godomar, King of the Burgundians defeats the Franks at the Battle of Vézeronce.

The case of Cardinal Siri
As with the 1958 papal conclave, rumours have persisted that Cardinal Siri received the two-thirds required for a valid election, accepted the cardinals' decision and declared he would be known as Pope Gregory XVII, but had then announced Non accepto ("I do not accept"), allegedly under pressure. The conclave and its papabili The conclave was held from October 25 to October 28, at the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Former Jesuit priest Malachi Martin wrote in 1991 that Siri had indeed received the required majority but had declined after what Martin called a "little brutality. The Society of Jesus ( Latin: Societas Iesu, SJ and SI or SJ, SI) is a Catholic religious order The ministerial orders of the Catholic Church includes both the orders of bishops and presbyters, which in Latin is sacerdos. Rev Dr Malachi Brendan Martin PhD ( July 23, 1921 &ndash July 27, 1999) was a Roman Catholic Priest and a former Year 1991 ( MCMXCI) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar. " Martin even claimed that a cardinal had consulted with someone outside the Chapel while the conclave was still in process, thus constituting a breach in conclave rules.
When asked two decades later whether in both the 1958 and 1963 conclaves he had initially been elected as pontiff, Siri responded "I am bound by the secret. This secret is horrible. I would have books to write about the different conclaves. Very serious things have taken place. But I can say nothing. " However, it is worthy of note that Siri fully submitted to the authority of John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, and John Paul II.

Election of Giovanni Battista Montini
The 1963 conclave was the largest ever assembled until that time. There were eighty-two cardinals, but owing to his house arrest, József Mindszenty could not travel to Rome, whilst Carlos María de la Torre did not participate owing to his advanced age and chronic health problems. In Justice and Law, house arrest (also called home confinement, home detention, or electronic monitoring) is a measure by which József Cardinal Mindszenty ( March 29 1892 &mdash May 6 1975) was elevated to the College of Cardinals by Pope Carlos María Cardinal de la Torre (born Carlos María Javier, November 14, 1873, Quito, Ecuador; died July 31, 1968 Of the eighty cardinals who did participate, eight had been elevated by Pope Pius XI, twenty-seven by Pius XII, and the remainder by John XXIII.

It is rumoured that the liberal faction, in order to remind the electors that the pope does not have to be Italian, had initially voted for Leo Cardinal Suenens of Mechelen-Brussels and Franz Cardinal König of Vienna.

The favourite candidate, Giovanni Battista Montini, was duly elected after only six ballots. By the fourth ballot on June 20, according to Time Magazine, the Milanese archbishop only needed 54 additional votes to obtain the required number of votes. Time (trademarked in capitals as TIME) is a weekly American Newsmagazine, similar to Newsweek and Anti-Council cardinals, who wanted to bring Vatican II to a swift conclusion, had allegedly attempted to block Montini's election in the early balloting. (Gustavo Testa, an old friend of John XXIII, had subsequently lost his temper in the Chapel and demanded that the intransigents stop impeding Montini’s path. Gustavo Cardinal Testa ( July 28, 1886 — February 28, 1969) was an Italian Prelate of the Roman Catholic ) When officially asked by Eugène Cardinal Tisserant if he accepted his election, Montini replied, Accepto, in nomine Domini ("I accept, in the name of the Lord").
