The drawing of lots is considered Holy Spirit direction ... by those whose souls are not yet born from above. It is even a mistake the Disciples made when choosing to replace Judas. The religion of catholiciism is rife with magic thinking.
Actually, it is (non-political) casting lots which is Biblical, (Acts 1:15ff; Josh. 18:6; Prov. 16:33) which Rome has never used, while no apostle was elected using the (often political) means of Rome, under which Italians were most often chosen.
