ABC is reporting this was the 2nd fastest conclave in history. Could that be true?John Paul II was in such poor health for so long that the Cardinals have had a lot of time to think about who the next Pope will be. Most of the politicking and horse trading was probably accomplished even before JPII died, and the Conclave was for all intents a formality.
