I think that is merely skin deep - Catholicism provided an interesting setting or scenery for a story, rather than being the subject.

- dudefeliciano 1y agoi think that is intendeded; it's not a movie about catholicism but about politics and human nature. What I meant is that it shows the internal workings of the papal election and the conflicts within the catholic church that may be unknown to laypeople.

- grandempire 1y agoOn second thought I think you’re right. The layperson can become more aware of religious politics, because there is so little exposure. I hope the next step is for people to understand that religious problems are actually people problems. And similar themes and tendencies appear in modern secular contexts.
