How realistic is ‘Conclave,’ the movie?

How realistic is ‘Conclave,’ the movie that lifts the lid on how a pope is elected? | CNN

The Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion are in uncharted waters after the voluntary resignation of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who quit just five days after he vowed that he would not resign.
What now for the Anglican Communion?
LONDON (RNS) — Besides needing to pick a new leader, the Church of England has an urgent need to show in short order that it can respond to abuse.

Just a reminder about this: Per @prripoll.bsky.social, white evangelicals *dramatically* flipped on the issue of politicians’ character back in 2016, and basically never looked back.
It’s been a useful stat for my reporting ever since.

The Spirit took a big victory lap around Audi Field at the end of this one. Trinity Rodman and Tara McKeown were really revving up the crowd. Back in the title game for the first time since 2021.
