Canonical election
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. A canonical election, in the canon law of the Latin Church of the Catholic Church, is the designation of a suitable candidate to a vacant ecclesiastical office by a vote of a collegial body.[1] One example for a canonic election would be the election of a pope by the cardinals in the conclave.
Usually confirmation of the election by a competent authority is required.[1] The competent authority cannot withhold confirmation is the designated candidate is canonically suitable for the office and the election has been conducted validly.[1]
