"Conclave"

Apostolic succession is possibly the oldest continuing Western institution in existence, of which the Papacy is one example, if not, IMHO, the most inspiring.

 

That said, I have enjoyed some pope-related films.

1. The Two Popes, a 2019 film about Benedict XVI and Francis, starring Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, was really great.
2. Saving Grace, a 1986 film starting Tom Conti as a newly installed younger pope who has a crisis of faith and goes on walkabout in Southern Italy to the alarm of his handlers at the Vatican, was both funny and meaningful.

 

Would that make him a loose canon?
