"When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world's most secretive and ancient events, selecting a new Pope, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church."

Am I the only one with this kind of expression on my face when reading this?:

Is there really a conspiracy that would shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church?

Is it worse than molesting children?

We already had that too: Mass indifference to the conspiracy of covering up sexual abuse within the Catholic Church.

Exactly. If that didn't take down the church I doubt anything will...

I saw it when I was in LA. Actually a good film. Its basically like a HS student body president election meets office politics presided by an exhausted middle manager who just wants to retire but is told no. The cardinals are grasping, backstabbing, paranoid, gossipy, power hungry, immoral, criming, and (in some cases) vaping their way through the ordeal.

Ralph Fiennes perfected both the internal and external sigh of a man who is about ready to pray for the sweet deliverance of death to get him the hell out of there.

Why would we think anyone cares about sexual abuse when sexual assault is celebrated today

That twist at the end was cray cray. Not what I was expecting.
