Edward Berger's gripping thriller, *Conclave*, captivated audiences last year by unveiling the secretive world of papal elections within the Catholic Church. The film, which features the esteemed actor Ralph Fiennes as the dean of the College of Cardinals, has not only entertained moviegoers but has also influenced real-life Cardinals as they prepare for an actual conclave following the recent passing of Pope Francis.
According to a papal cleric cited by Politico, *Conclave* is considered "remarkably accurate" by some Cardinals, to the extent that several have watched it in cinemas. This attention from high-ranking church officials underscores the film's impact and its role in providing a realistic portrayal of the conclave process.
The conclave was triggered by Pope Francis's death in late April, shortly after the film's release. Starting on May 7th, 133 Cardinals from around the world will gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect the next pontiff. A significant number of these Cardinals were appointed by Pope Francis and are experiencing the conclave for the first time. For these novices, especially those from smaller and more remote parishes, *Conclave* offers a valuable glimpse into the ritualistic and complex process of electing a new pope.
