The “election” to the papacy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio by the name of Francis would not have been the result of a spontaneous choice of the Conclave of 13 March 2013. On the contrary, was already scheduled during secret meetings at which they participated several bishops and cardinals, organized by the Jesuit Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
