 These pronouncements however, did not specifically condemn the "jus exclusivae".In the apostolic constitution "In hac sublimi" of 23 August 1871 Pope Pius IX forbade any kind of secular interference in papal elections.The most recent attempt to exercise the right to exclude Cardinal Rampolla in 1903 was rejected by the conclave, although over the course of several ballots Rampolla, who had been the leading candidate, lost support until the conclave elected Cardinal Sarto, Saint Pius X.
