CONCLAVE STARS RALPH FIENNES 17:45, 21 Apr 2025 A timely thriller chronicling the twists and turns of a papal conclave is available to watch online. The sad death of Pope Francis was
announced by the Vatican this morning. The pontiff had been hospitalised earlier this year after suffering bronchitis. He was discharged and appeared before the crowds in Rome yesterday for
Easter Sunday. Conclave, featuring Ralph Fiennes and directed by Edward Berger, is an adaptation of the bestselling novel by Robert Harris. The movie, which was released last year,
transports viewers within the Vatican's walls, where the College of Cardinals convenes in secrecy to elect the successor following a pope's demise. Fiennes portrays Cardinal
Lomeli, a high-ranking Church official entrusted with overseeing the sensitive and profoundly symbolic election. Over several fraught days, he starts to unearth secrets among his cardinal
colleagues - including one revelation that could alter the papacy's future course. The narrative unfolds almost exclusively within the Sistine Chapel and adjacent Vatican areas,
providing an intimate glimpse into the rituals, politics, and subtle power plays that transpire behind closed doors. Article continues below Set against the backdrop of one of global
religion's most private and tradition-steeped events, Conclave melds fiction with insight into a process that seldom permits public scrutiny - and which the world anticipates observing

Pope Francis. It reads: “At 7.35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church.
“He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with faithfulness, courage, and universal love, especially for the poorest and most marginalised. With immense gratitude for his example as a
true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite, merciful love of God, One and Tribune.″ The pontiff became pope in 2013 after his predecessor Benedict
XVI resigned.
