Pope Francis, the Cardinals, and "Conclave"
Briefly

"I think we've had enough secrets," says Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, hinting at revelations soon to come in the Vatican drama depicted in 'Conclave.'
The Vatican's Synod on Synodality featured about 350 delegates engaging in discussions on processes to foster communion and participation within the church, led by a structured format.
Conducted in a bright modern hall near St. Peter’s Basilica, the Synod was attended by Pope Francis and included diverse representatives, yet avoided controversial topics.
The proceedings, while methodical and inclusive, were characterized as prosaic and lacking the dramatic tension found in the cinematic portrayal of papal elections.
