The Oscar-winning movie Conclavebrought the mysterious process of electing a new pope to the big screen, raising questions about how accurate the film is to real-life. On the morning of April 21, 2025, at 7:35 am Central European Summer Time (1:35 am Eastern Time), Pope Francis died after suffering a stroke and heart failure (via The New York Times). In addition to mourning the late pontiff, Catholics and non-Catholics alike find themselves looking ahead at what’s next for one of the most powerful entities in the world. Consequently, the 2024 film Conclave, which won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2025 Oscars, has become more timely than ever.
