Never do free work! Fucking never! If they ask you to do that kind of thing take the amount of time you think it'll take to complete, and take the offered salary for that position to find out how much they need to pay you before hand. No exceptions!!

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.
