Some cardinals say they hope to wrap things up by Thursday or Friday
A record 133 cardinals from 70 countries will enter the Sistine Chapel to vote on a new head of the Roman Catholic Church
The conclave will start behind the closed doors of the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday afternoon
The date is decided during a closed-door meeting of cardinals at the Vatican
The word conclave, from Latin cum clave (with a key), dates back to the protracted election of Celestine IV in 1241, when cardinals were locked up in a crumbling palace
