Analysis Summary:

The article's accuracy is mixed, as the provided sources do not directly verify the central claim about papal elections. The title suggests a strategic element in papal candidacy, which is difficult to verify without specific evidence. The article likely contains a moderate level of bias due to the subjective nature of the claim and the potential for selective reporting.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** "If you want to be pope, it helps not to act like it." This is the central thesis of the article.
  • Verification Source #1: Fails to cover this claim.
  • Verification Source #2: Fails to cover this claim.
  • Verification Source #3: Fails to cover this claim.
  • Verification Source #4: Fails to cover this claim.
  • Verification Source #5: Fails to cover this claim.
• This claim is not directly verifiable with the provided sources. It relies on an interpretation of papal politics and behavior. Internal knowledge suggests that humility and service are often valued qualities in potential candidates, but overt ambition can be a disadvantage.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• The provided sources do not offer direct support or contradiction for the central claim.
• Verification Source #5: Shows Pope Francis emphasizing the importance of community and not seeing himself as a priest on his own, which could be interpreted as a form of humility. However, this is indirect and doesn't confirm the article's central thesis about strategic behavior in papal elections.
• The lack of coverage from the provided sources limits the ability to assess the factual accuracy of the article's main point.
