She's instituting comprehensive reforms ~ she came up from a pretty tough parish and won't tolerate costumery, pageantry, or pomp. She's more about treats for all, plush bedding, and abundant petting, but only with consent.
The costume designer was nominated for an Oscar, which ok, but I imagine they just went to Gammarelli (“the Pope’s tailor”) and ordered a bunch of cassocks, surplices, albs, vestments, miters, etc. doesn’t seem fair.
Yes, Cardinals and bishops can look really good in their “uniform.” lol
I remember running into an article that mentions they looked at actual garments and thought the materials etc sucked and looked cheap, so they revamped them.
Love the wordless facial expressions from Rossalini. Also Feinnes' when the election is final. A few telling glances from Tucci as well. But Jacek Koman's scenes are my favorite.
Sorry, not sorry, not going to care about Conclave because I grew up with a catholic, psychologically abusive father in constant state of distress, anxiety and worry about the future. Hearing the key in the door every evening was my own "Conclave" for almost 20 years
I remember the one after John Paul died. Seemed to last for days. And as much as the news tried to make it look interesting, all we were doing was watching the roof of a building for different colored smoke signals.
I feel like I learned all I need to know from "The Young Pope" and "The New Pope"--which I assume were extremely accurate representations of the Vatican
I read the book before watching the movie and really loved the tension in the book. The movie didn’t quite cover the full tension of it but many of the scenes were beautifully shot 🙂
#Pentecost is the season of Renewal for Christians. The #Catholic Church will have a new #pope next month. A Traditionalist, Reformer, or Moderate? Have you read this new book yet?

I'm announcing that I'm officially running for Pope. I'm not Catholic and am completely unqualified for the job. I will allow priests and nuns to marry. Women will be eligible for priesthood. Feeding the hungry will be a top priority. Anti-abortion will no longer be a driving force of Christianity.
I was t to watch that. I keep forgetting to. It’s on my list.
In my defense, I am finally wrapping up Supernatural for the first time-4 episodes left.
I have others I want to watch. Yellowjackets, Shining Vale, The Last of Us. But I do think this needs to be prioritized.
And there is already controversy and intrigue going on. A demoted former cardinal, that was demoted by Pope Francis himself, wants to be included in Conclave. He currently has an appeal in with the Dean of the College of Cardinals to be included.

Yes, its all about Papal politics but... It pays off.

They did look at them though and found them ugly.

When I was in RCC seminary knew guys who when they’d travel to Rome would plan a visit to Gammarelli’s to purchase the quality Roman stuff.
