The film 'Conclave' critically examines the complex interplay of spirituality and human imperfection within the papal selection process. Experts like author Reese emphasize that while the voting procedure mirrors reality, it is complicated by the egos and political maneuvering inherent among Cardinals. Sister Susan’s insight underscores the hope for divine guidance amidst human flaws. The narrative also highlights the evolving role of women in the Church and addresses historical issues such as sexual abuse, emphasizing the urgent need for change within the institution.
"While we wish and hope and pray that it is entirely a spiritual discernment process, we are only human beings. It's impossible not to have the egos, worries, concerns to not come to light..." - Sister Susan
"The Church, we often say, is a divine institution governed by men, and they are not all angels and saints... there will be disagreements... that's human and that's normal." - Reese
