Answer
Papal conclaves, as reformed by Pope Gregory VII, revolutionized the process of selecting new popes. These secretive gatherings, restricted to cardinals, aimed to eliminate external influences and establish the College of Cardinals as the sole electors. By introducing stringent regulations, Gregory ensured the integrity and independence of papal elections, shaping the course of Catholic Church leadership for centuries to come.
