Why is the conclave secret as there should be nothing to hide in God's decision?

Originally the practice of holding secret conclaves grew up in an attempt to force the cardinals to reach agreement quickly. If they took too long, those waiting outside started to reduce their rations. In more modern times it is seen as a way of allowing the cardinals to concentrate on the task without distractions and of stopping governments from trying to influence the election.
Another important point that few seem to realize is that a papal election is not always a sweet and harmonious process. About 120 cardinals from around the world are involved and each one has a personal opinion about what type of person would best be suited to lead the Church at that particular time in history. There will be much arguing and discussion and things can get rather heated at times. To an outside observer (if they were allowed) it might seem that the Church was falling apart at the seams and imploding. It is by this process that the Holy Spirit eventually guides the cardinals to their final choice for pope. In a way you might compare it to sausage. Most of us love the taste of a good sausage but few of us would care to witness how a sausage is made.

What is the name of the process used to elect a new pope?
When the Pope dies, all the Cardinals go to the Sistine Chapel and lock themselves in there (this is called conclave, which means "with key"). While in there, they discuss and vote on which Cardinal should be the next Pope. They are only allowed to leave the Sistine Chapel once they have reached a decision.
