about Ratzinger and Francis, which I thought beautifully filmed and acted.

was quite accurate, even if the movie's plot twist was a bit unlikely.

Lots of politics goes into selecting the next Pope. It's where ambition actually comes out.

Pope Francis had low ambitions, other than to serve people.

because it demonstrated a back door introduction of a more feminine viewpoint into a world of men only.
The battling contestants were silenced by a reminder of their nurturing purpose.
It was upsetting to watch a world of men only, having insisted the nuns remain invisible and silent around them. They live in their own fantasy and dictate how others are supposed to live.

The movie reinforced my intense dislike for religion.
