When Cardinal Lawrence is led through one of the world’s most secret and ancient events, the election of a new pope, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the very foundations of the Catholic Church. The actions that Cardinal Lawrence and the other cardinals take during the conclave in the film are also true to Catholic faith and centuries-old tradition. After the Pope’s death, his ring (the so-called fisherman’s ring) is removed and destroyed; this is so that it cannot be used to forge the papal seal on documents. The Vatican officially announces that the throne of the Holy See (the governing body of the Catholic Church) is vacant. The papal apartment is sealed with a purple ribbon and sealed with a wax papal seal. The College of Cardinals is locked in apartments (Domus Sanctae Marthae, the House of Saint Martha) so that they can eat and sleep between votes. Finally, the windows and doors of the Sistine Chapel, where the actual election and voting take place, are blacked out, locked, and bolted to preserve the secrecy of the conclave. Also visible are some of the more recent security measures taken in real life, when the conclave to elect Pope Francis I was convened in 2013, the Sistine Chapel was searched for bugging and other electronic listening devices, all conclave officials were issued identity cards, because the reporter was in disguise as a servant – it was revealed that the 2005 XVI. their cell phones and other electronic devices, the Vatican Wi-Fi network was temporarily shut down, and wireless jammers were placed in the Sistine Chapel. Ayendi is said to be the first African pope. The Roman Catholic Church has had three African popes: Victor I (189-199 BC), Miltiades (also known as Melchiades, 311-314 BC), and Gelasius I (492-496 AD). Lawrence: Our faith is a living thing precisely because it goes hand in hand with doubt. If it were without certainty and doubt, there would be no mystery. And therefore there is no need for faith. Let us pray that God will give us a doubting pope. And give us a pope who makes mistakes, apologizes, and moves on. Featured on The 7PM Project: Episode 10, December 2024 (2024).

I just got back from the cinema after watching "Conclave" a movie that I was really excited about and I really liked it. For most of the movie, I was so impressed by the beautiful cinematography, the fantastic performances, the excellent score, and the quality costumes and production that I was convinced that this had to be a 10/10 movie. But then, unfortunately, came the ending. I think the ending of the movie is the most important part. What would you leave the audience with? What is your final statement to them? Well, in this movie, it is so contrived, confusing, and absurd that every closing sentence is confused and I left the theater with a bad taste in my mouth. The ending is so unrealistic that it threatens to destroy every frame of what came before. They do this just to make a statement about the church and shock the audience. Now, it doesn’t ruin the movie as a whole (at least not for me), but it unfortunately spoils an otherwise great movie.
