If your hierarchy elects a pope, on what basis does the laity decide that they are wrong?

How did the College of Cardinals come to the decision they did? Was the College of Cardinals led by the Holy Spirit in making that decision?

You’re a Catholic. Answer your own question.

Um, more like how Judas’s successor was chosen ... drawing lots.

Well; I've been accused of being my own pope; so I would reason that these guys are their own Torquemada.
