The comment above it in the file

We declare the cardinal for that seat, otherwise a holy candidate is listed as The Pious

What it does

… Papabile Score rises enough to stand first as The Powerful
… stands openly as The Powerful for 20 years, and will not be put forward as The Pious or The Populist
If
a check the game hides
Then
- Cardinals who heed you will lean toward … when the College of Cardinals next votes (if they are your Vassals, fellow Vassals, Puppets, Family or have at least 40 Opinion of you)
