It's sometimes said that if all cardinals died, defected or disappeared during a vacancy of the Holy See, there would be no way to elect a new pope. Dominican Theologian de Victoria explains.
“I say, therefore, that in whatever way – whether by institution or by chance – all the Christian bishops were to convene, in such a case the bishops could elect a Supreme Pontiff of such authority as the blessed Peter was, even against the protests of all or the greater part of the laity or even the clergy.”

Does any other theologian proffer this opinion?
