This conclave to choose a new pope was short -- but not the shortest ever
VATICAN CITY — How long does it take to choose a pope ? In this case, it took only two days for Catholic cardinals to elect a successor to Pope Francis . That's among the shortest conclaves in recent decades, but not the shortest ever. It's hard to be precise, since the Vatican doesn't publish official data on the number of votes or tallies in past conclaves , and sources compiling their own data are not in complete agreement.

The Vote for the Next Pope Is Also a Referendum on Francis
They buried him. They mourned him. And they have gathered to pick his successor. But it's still all about Pope Francis. More than two weeks after Francis died, the cardinals who will begin voting in the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday to pick the next pope have been signaling whether they want to follow Francis' lead, turn back or find some compromise between the two. In homilies, public and private conversations, and most of all in remarks to their fellow cardinals in daily meetings behind the Vatican walls, the people who will choose the next pope have been holding what amounts to a referendum on Francis' legacy. They have also been considering whether they want to perpetuate the so-called 'Francis effect,' the idea that a charismatic, inclusive person of moral conscience on the geopolitical stage might draw new followers and lure lapsed Catholics back into the church. 'There are various wishes' within the group, said Cardinal Anders Arborelius of Sweden, who has been mentioned as a potential candidate for pope. Some want to elect a pontiff 'who can follow in the footsteps of Francis. Some others said, 'No, no. Not at all.''
