The papal apartment is sealed with crimson ribbon and sealed with a papal wax seal
When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world’s most secret and ancient events, the selection of a new Pope, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the very foundations of the Catholic Church. Many of the actions that Cardinal Lawrence and the rest of the cardinals take during the film’s conclave process are true and accurate to the Catholic faith and centuries of tradition. After the Pope’s death, his ring (called the Fisherman’s Ring) is removed and destroyed; this is to prevent it from being used to forge the Pope’s seal on documents. The Vatican makes an official announcement that the throne of the Holy See (the governing body of the Catholic Church) is vacant. The College of Cardinals is sequestered in apartments (the Domus Sanctae Marthae, House of Saint Martha) to eat and sleep between votes.
It is stated that Ayendi would be the first African Pope
Finally, the windows and doors of the Sistine Chapel, where the actual election takes place and the ballots are cast, are blacked out, closed and locked to maintain the secrecy of the conclave. Some of the more recent security measures taken in real life are also shown; when the conclave that elected Pope Francis I met in 2013, the Sistine Chapel was swept for bugs and other electronic listening devices, identity cards were issued to all conclave servants because a reporter disguised as a servant was discovered during the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI in 2005, all members of the College of Cardinals were ordered to surrender their cell phones and other electronic devices, the Vatican City Wi-Fi network was temporarily shut down, and wireless signal jammers were installed in the Sistine Chapel. The Roman Catholic Church has had three African Popes: Victor the First (189-199 CE), Miltiades (also known as Melchiades, 311-314 CE), and Gelasius the First (492-496 CE). Lawrence: Our faith is a living thing precisely because it goes hand in hand with doubt. If there were only certainty and no doubt, there would be no mystery.
And therefore no need for faith
Let us pray that God will grant us a Pope who doubts. And that he will grant us a Pope who sins and asks for forgiveness and moves on.

I just got back from the theater after seeing “Conclave,” a film that I was extremely excited about and thoroughly enjoyed.
But then, alas, the ending arrived
For most of the film, I was so captivated by the stunning cinematography, fantastic performances, great score, and quality costumes and production design, that I was convinced that this should be a 10/10 film. I believe that the ending of a film is the most important part. What are you going to leave the audience with? What is your final statement to them? Well, in this film, it is so contrived, confusing, and absurd that any final statement becomes confusing, and I left the theater with a bad taste in my mouth.
The ending is so unrealistic that it threatens to destroy every frame of what came before
It is done purely to make a statement about the church and to shock the audience. Now, this doesn’t ruin the film as a whole (not for me, at least), but it unfortunately ruins an otherwise excellent film.
