Cardinals Observe Conclave for Upcoming Event Research

May 14,25(1 months ago)

Edward Berger's gripping film Conclave has captivated audiences worldwide, offering a rare glimpse into the secretive world of papal elections. As the real-life conclave approaches following the passing of Pope Francis, the influence of this cinematic portrayal is evident, with some Cardinals reportedly turning to the film for guidance.

According to a papal cleric who spoke to Politico, Berger's film, featuring the esteemed Ralph Fiennes as the dean of the College of Cardinals, has been praised for its accuracy. The cleric noted that "some [Cardinals] have watched it in the cinema," indicating the film's impact on those who will soon participate in the actual conclave.

Pope Francis's death in late April, just months after Conclave hit the theaters, has set the stage for the election of his successor. Starting on Wednesday, May 7, 133 Cardinals from around the world will gather in the Sistine Chapel to deliberate and vote on the next leader of the global Catholic Church.

Given that most of these Cardinals were appointed by Pope Francis and have never experienced a conclave, it's understandable that they might seek insights from Conclave. This film could be particularly valuable for Cardinals from smaller, more remote parishes who may not have access to the same level of preparation as their counterparts in larger dioceses.
