Situational context
With the death of the previous Pope, the Vatican was by him convening Second Council in full swing. Thus, the passing away of John XXIII came. unexpectedly for many. They were anxious to secure the future of the work of the Council. There is therefore a person was sought which had the strength to complete the council, without leaving the path of the old pope.
Expiration
The conclave lasted two days and had six rounds of voting. The favorites for the Holy See were Giacomo Lercaro and later Pope Giovanni Montini. Both corresponded to the requirements of the assembled cardinals, which at least Montini had just been confirmed by utterances. Montini sit by, ultimately, as Cardinal Lercaro was by its own account in poor health. The French church historian Philippe Levillain According voted in the last ballot 60 of 80 cardinals to become Pope.
