Where to Watch ‘Conclave’—and How It Compares to the Real-Life Papal Succession Process

The intense pressure and secrecy surrounding the papal conclave depicted in the movie “Conclave” is actually based on real-life events. In the film, the cardinals are sequestered in private rooms at the Vatican’s Domus Sanctae Marthae residence hotel, completely cut off from the outside world. This includes being deprived of access to televisions, phones, computers, and newspapers. During the 2013 conclave that followed Pope Benedict’s resignation, electronic jamming devices were even installed to prevent any leaks of information, and regular sweeps were conducted to ensure no communication devices were present.

One of the key plot points in “Conclave” revolves around the voting process for electing a new pope. Similarly to real life, the cardinals in the conclave take votes twice a day until a candidate receives a two-thirds majority. After every seven unsuccessful ballots, there is a day of prayer and reflection. While history shows that a conclave can last for an extended period of time, with the longest one lasting over two years in the 13th century, the 2013 conclave concluded in just two days, indicating a potentially swift process this time around.

In an intriguing twist, “Conclave” raises the question of whether an intersex pope could be elected in real life. While there has been no historical record of an intersex pope, experts suggest that it is a possibility. David Gibson, director of the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University, stated that just as gay men have been elected pope in the past, an intersex individual could also potentially hold the position. This adds an element of diversity and inclusivity to the traditionally conservative process of papal election.

Overall, “Conclave” offers a thrilling glimpse into the high-stakes and secretive world of papal elections, drawing inspiration from real-life events while also introducing thought-provoking scenarios. It captures the tension, drama, and intrigue of the conclave process, making it a compelling watch for audiences interested in the intersection of faith, power, and tradition.
