The conclave to elect a new pope may begin earlier than expected. The Vatican on Saturday says several cardinals raised the possibility of starting the conclave to elect a new pope in early March. Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi earlier said the conclave would probably start on or after March 15 after Pope Benedict XVI resigns on February 28.
