In 2007 Benedict XVI rescinded John Paul II's change (which had been criticised as effectively abolishing the two-thirds majority requirement, as any majority would suffice to block the election until a simple majority was enough to elect the next pope), reaffirming the requirement of a two-thirds majority.
2007年，教宗本笃十六世撤销了若望·保禄二世的修改（该修改被认为有效废除了三分之二多数的要求，因为任何多数将能够阻挠选举直到一个简单多数足够选举另一位教宗），重新确定了三分之二多数的要求。
