<b>--LEAD IN</b>--</p><p>We will never know exactly how the College of Cardinals reached its decision to name an Argentine Archbishop as the new Pope.</p><p>All participants and witnesses to the Papal Conclave are sworn to secrecy.</p><p>But as Dan Rivers reports, we can make some educated guesses based on leaks -- and what happened in the crucial days before Conclave.</p><br /><p>
<b>--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS</b>--</p><p>AS THE SUN SETS ON THE CONCLAVE - GRADUALLY DETAILS ARE BEING PIECED TOGETHER AS TO HOW CARDINAL BERGOGLIO WAS ELECTED POPE FRANCIS.</p><p>POSTERS OF THE 115 CARDINAL ELECTORS ATTRACT PASSERS-BY.</p><p>ORDINARY PEOPLE WONDERING HOW THE CARDINALS VOTED FOR A RANK OUTSIDER - CARDINAL BERGOGLIO.</p><p>At the end, he had been 25-1. He had been as big as 40-1. In reality, almost no one had backed him. He was almost 16th or 17th in the betting.</p><p>THE CARDINALS THEMSELVES ARE SUPPOSED TO SAY NOTHING - SWEARING AN OATH OF SECRECY ABOUT HOW THEY VOTED. </p><p>WE TRIED ASKING ONE ABOUT WHAT WENT ON.</p><p>I cannot tell you that, I cannot tell you that [laughs] because we agreed that we would not say anything about that.</p><p>IT'S REPORTED CARDINAL BERGOGLIO MADE A KEY FOUR-MINUTE SPEECH AT THE PRE-CONCLAVE GENERAL CONGREGATIONS MEETING WHICH IMPRESSED MANY CARDINALS -- BUT FEW PREDICTED HE'D WIN.</p><p>It's like a "Pope-game" until they disclose their cards; none of them will have a clear picture of what is possible. Then once the cards are put on the table they will then see who's got the votes and who's not.</p><p>And this is how the cards fell. Favourite Cardinal Angelo Scola was struggling for votes even in the first ballot.</p><p>In subsequent votes, two establishment kingmakers: non-elector Cardinal Angelo Sodano and Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone were both trumped by other Cardinals who wanted reform. It stacked the deck in favour of Cardinal Bergoglio.</p><p>The Joker in the pack? The U.S. Cardinals led by Archbishop of New York Timothy Dolan; his endorsement pushed Cardinal Bergoglio above the magic two thirds majority needed. He became unbeatable.</p><p>ALL THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SECRET, BUT SOON THE DETAILS WERE LEAKING.</p><p>Now the decision is secret but it is a secret decision, they have to be closed, they haven't any pressure or influence during the making of the decision but afterwards there is a briefing of the story.</p><p>A STORY OF WHICH FEW PREDICTED THE ENDING - A FIRST POPE FROM THE NEW WORLD.</p><p>DAN RIVERS, CNN, ROME.</p><p>
