Innocent's reign had been little better and so cardinals were inclined to elect a pope who would bring repute back to the papacy.

He was elected pope at 4:30pm with a total of 38 votes.

He canonized a record number of individuals since he was elected pope in 2013.

His involvement with the university continued until he was elected pope in 1978.

This signaled that the first ballot had been held without electing a pope.
