00:00One of the cardinals who elected Pope Leo XIV was found carrying a cell phone,
00:05creating a massive security breach at the last conclave. The book The Election of
00:09Pope Leo XIV claims security officials detected the signal of an active mobile connection as
00:14clerics were preparing to take their first vote. Cardinals taking part in a conclave vowed not to
00:19communicate with the outside world and to surrender phones and all communication devices.
00:23The book is written by two long-time Vatican correspondents.
00:27It does not name the cardinal or suggest he had any motive for keeping his phone,
00:31saying the moment left him quote, disoriented and distressed.

00:40Prevost already received between 20 to 30 votes, an unusually large number. Philippine Cardinal Luis
00:45Antonio Tagle, who was also seen as a favorite going into the election, received fewer than 10
