WHAT DOES CONCLAVIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

conclavist

Conclavist

A conclavist was a personal aide of a cardinal present in a papal conclave. The term is sometimes used to refer to all present with a conclave, including the cardinal-electors, but is more properly applied only to the non-cardinals. Conclavists played an important historical role in the negotiations of papal elections and in the evolution of secrecy, writing many of the extant accounts of papal elections. Three popes have been elected from former conclavists, including Pope Pius VI. Other conclavists have later been elevated to the cardinalate, such as Pierre Guérin de Tencin, Niccolò Coscia, Christoph Anton Migazzi, and Carlo Confalonieri. Pope Paul VI in effect eliminated the role of the historical conclavist by banning private aides and creating a common support staff.
