Editor’s Note: This video, made 4 years ago, though it contains a few errors, such as saying that Nicholas II put together an army to take back Rome — when in fact it was the Margrave of Tuscany who liberated the city with his own military forces — or that Henry IV became emperor at the death of his father — he only received the imperial crown after attaining his majority and being crowned by the pope — does accurately affirm that Pope Nicholas II liberated the election of the Roman Pontiff from lay interference with his Bull, In Nomine Domini, in 1059, and that this Bull is still in effect.

This Bull is still in effect, in two ways: first, because it began the practice of restricting the right of election to the Cardinals, and, second, because it laid down that the former electorate retained its right of election in the special case of an uncanonical election of a pretender, usurper.

Thus, in 2025, with the illegal election of Robert Prevost, the Church returns to the juridical conditions of the papal election of Nicholas II, who in May of 1058, was elected at Siena, Italy, by a small group of clergy and laity, from the Roman Church, gathered around Saint Hildebrand, Archdeacon (the future Pope Gregory VII), Cardinal Umberto di Candida Selva, a Burgundian Bishop, and Saint Peter Damian, Cardinal Bishop, Doctor of the Church against the Homo-Heresy, and Benedictine Monk-Hermit.
