When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world’s most secretive and oldest events – the selection of a new Pope – he finds himself at the centre of a conspiracy that could shake the very foundations of the Catholic Church. This is Carlos Diehz’s first major appearance in a film. He was an architect until 2020, when his last son left home and decided to take online acting classes and go on auditions. Adeyemi is claimed to be the first African Pope. The Roman Catholic Church has had three African Popes: Victor the First (189-199 AD), Miltiades (aka Melchiades, 311-314 AD), and Gelasius the First (492-496 AD). However, it is likely that he is referring to an ethnically African pope, as those three popes, although born in Africa, were all of ethnic European descent. Lawrence: Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks 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. Featured on The FP7 Project: Episode of 10 December 2024 (2024).

Disclaimer: I am Catholic and yes, as many say and note, the finish is a genuine 24-carat surprise, but I am not giving anything away here, but there are many stories to tell in history that remain locked away in the Vatican labyrinth. About 80 of them. Fiennes and Tucchi are of course masters at the top of their game and it shows. The emotions and games just keep coming. The production is superb. Living Latin in conversation? Oh my God! What I mean is that there are about 80 cardinals from all over our planet, only a few are the center of attention and the others are, so to speak, a matter of background. I would have liked to have some varied conversations on the side. Nuns/sisters, of course, are one of them and I gladly accept that. But, by God, this requires ordering the book.
