“He was elected Pope in the Catholic Church's last non-conclave papal election ending a two-year impasse. Among the only surviving edicts he issued was confirmation of the right of the Pope to abdicate; nearly all of his other official
acts were annulled by his successor, Boniface VIII.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Celestine_V)
