Cardinals Watch Conclave for Research on Upcoming Event
May 21,2025Author: Emma
Edward Berger's gripping thriller, *Conclave*, captivated audiences last year, offering a rare glimpse into the secretive world of Catholicism's papal election. The film's portrayal of the conclave process has proven to be not just entertaining but also educational, as it is now influencing real-life events. With the actual conclave set to commence, the power of cinema is evident, with some of the participating Cardinals turning to the film for guidance.
According to a papal cleric involved in the conclave ritual, who spoke to the politics and current events outlet Politico, Berger's film—featuring the esteemed Ralph Fiennes as the dean of the College of Cardinals—has been lauded for its accuracy. The cleric noted that "some [Cardinals] have watched it in the cinema," highlighting the film's impact on those preparing for the real event.
The passing of Pope Francis in late April, just months after the film's release, set the stage for the upcoming conclave. On Wednesday, May 7, 133 high-ranking clerics from around the globe will gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect the next leader of the worldwide Catholic Church.
A significant number of these Cardinals were appointed by Pope Francis and are experiencing the conclave for the first time. For those from smaller or more remote parishes, *Conclave* serves as a valuable resource, providing insights into a ritual they might otherwise struggle to understand fully. This reliance on film underscores its role as both a mirror and a guide to real-world events.
