The author of the novel on which the film is based, Robert Harris is a great admirer of Pope Francis. Draw your own conclusions.
A Must Miss Movie: Conclave
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
The Con Cave.
Sounds like a pet agenda too me.
Next time they should send a canary into the cave first. See if it comes back Protestant.
Not totally shocked to see this. I have for some time been anticipating something similar, namely an implanted trans “male” into a major seminary who, some time after ordination, will be revealed for who he/she truly is. A way to wedge women priests into the Church along with the LGBT agenda. Kudos to Ben Shapiro for reviewing this piece of filth and giving all a heads up.
While I doubt this movie is Catholic, I would like to point out that Harris is an excellent novelist.
I have read Fatherland and Munich and found them very competent. I have read The Second Sleep and found it to be *excellent* with the exception of one gratuitous sex scene than can be easily skipped. (Hazards of our “enlightened” age.)
If this passage is true for a man, then it is also true for an organization;
Matthew 5:13 says, “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot”.
The goal of Freemasonry is to strip Mother Church of her flavor. The fictional portrayal of the conclave doesn’t sound too far fetched, in regards to reformers and traditionalist and the never ending tug of war.
An hour of prayer at the opening night of this movie, on the sidewalk, is one way to stand flavorful in a sea of dead salt.

Sorry Ezabelle.
I got caught riding my pony again.👀
Ironically, I first heard of this movie from whatever system places ads here on The American Catholic 🤦♂️

I knew this was a disaster as soon as I saw Stanley Tucci, former Planned Parenthood Pro-Choice Man of the Year, had been cast.
Stanley Tucci was banned in 2004 from a speaking engagement about Italian film at Catholic University because of his pro-abortion stance. He is of Italian heritage and does a lot of food and cultural shows and relating to his Italian heritage. Too bad he leaves out the Catholic part of his Italian heritage.
Hollywood is at war with the Church. They only just finished releasing a horror movie called The Nun 2 and had theaters post an evil-looking witch/nun mannequin on street corners. Now they’re turning a sacred tradition into a dramatized film. The real life stories through history of attempts to corrupt the process and install puppets would be better entertainment, I’m sure. And I would not be shocked to learn the film perpetuates the myth that one man has absolute power over the entire Catholic doctrine, making it subject to wild change. The author of the story on which it’s based is British, which makes me cautious as well given the island’s history of Catholic persecution. But bottom line, it’s Hollywood. Any Hollywood take on anything Catholic is BOUND to be defamatory as a rule.
I can’t take Shapiro seriously. The man is a caricature whose business model depends on rage-farming. The character in question is born intersex, but because of his life’s path never realizes his biological differences until getting injured. At that point, then aware of his condition, he tries to resign his office, and is refused by the pope. He is a man of faith. He lived his life as a man. He even has male genitalia. What is controversial about this?
No female may be Pope or a priest. Harris, albeit a talented novelist, and a man of the Left. That he is pushing a Leftist agenda in his novel is as surprising as the sun rising in the east.
I understand the point about females not being allowed to become Pope or priest, but I don’t think it’s a question of agenda. Does being born intersex exclude them from office? Female genitalia are present, yes, but male genitalia as well. The character is not a woman, nor ever thinks of themselves as a woman. It seems uncharitable for the institution to hold a biological quirk against a qualified individual.
Thank you.
