The cast of 'Conclave', including Isabella Rossellini and Sergio Castellitto, voiced their concerns for Pope Francis's health during a SAG awards ceremony where their film won an outstanding performance award. Rossellini emphasized their love and worry for the Pope, while Castellitto highlighted the close relationship Italians have with him. John Lithgow added that the film, which explores the papal election process, is timely, considering the importance of leadership elections in today's world. Pope Francis has been hospitalized due to pneumonia and a complex lung infection since February 14.
First of all, we would like to wish Pope Francis a quick recovery. We are very, very worried for our pope. We love this pope.
The film has ended up extremely timely—it’s about the social organism electing a leader. Elections have become a great big, important subject of our time.
For us that live in Rome our relationship as Italians to the pope is much closer. I repeat, I really wish him well.
You cannot help seeing Conclave and not thinking what happens when different tribes quarrel with each other trying to decide on who is their leader.
