I have, Hannah. I found it intriguing. I was also visiting a friend who works in the Vatican, and after some conversations (including meeting the man who was also in the running for being Pope), I realised I hadn't known how polarised the people there are about this pope.
I'm slowly making my way through it, and wondered whether it departed greatly from Pope Francis' Note you mention here. I honestly know nothing about papal politics but I imagine it would be an extremely interesting material for a political drama!
I watched Conclave precisely because of the backlash from a conservative Catholic priest. If you hate it that much, I thought, it must be worth watching.
Thanks for this, Chris. Have you read the latest encyclical from the Pope published in May this year?
