More reactions to ‘Conclave’

I was somewhat aware of the controversy “Conclave” had generated, but I went to see it with an open mind. I found the story line to be captivating, the acting by the cast to be formidable, and the portrayal of what happens behind closed doors to not be scandalous. Priests are imperfect humans, as we all are.

Perhaps my advantage is that I’ve worked with many priests over the years, so it was no surprise to watch the different egos, as well as the very human power machinations by the cardinals jockeying to lead the Church.
