New Movie : The Conclave

Post by MarieT » Tue Nov 05, 2024 6:05 pm

I've been seeing the trailer for this movie and rather interested in watching it when it comes out.

Today I found this : Bishop Barron is advising people to stay away from the movie.

Here is the trailer, then read on to the article on Bishop Barron's supposed ban on it (if you wish to).

"funny" about that
It depicts ideological and theological infighting among Catholic cardinals during the election of a new pope. More traditional cardinals are pitted against others who are portrayed as being open to changes in doctrine that are contrary to Catholic teaching.
well actually not so "funny" as the witnessing of high ranking cardinals and bishops replaced during francis' pontificate with more "agreeable" yes-francis-clerics who don't have the expertise for the roles ....but i digress

I am leery of Bp. Barron, but I digress too
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
