That's not the best argument, since historically some popes took many years to select. Like, so long it was a major problem and they had to make reforms that included locking the cardinals in a room and taking away everything but bread and water at times.

Good details about the insanity in this Tasting History episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZCs9aMkzBQ

The quickness of the current pope being selected makes me wonder why it took so damn long last time.

Internal prejudice against Jesuits, if I had to guess.
