To be fair, this is probably one of those things that, like a lot of Catholic Church rituals, is steeped in pointless ceremony, like everyone needs to kneel and blink twice when the man with the censure enters the room, and look to the left if the censure is emitting visible smoke, but stand up and clasp their hands if it isn't. Or something like that.

Most of the ceremony here has a point and that's generally preventing the Holy Roman Emperor from fucking with the voting. It's really, really hard to commit Papal electoral fraud because of all the dumb shit.

Actually this is true for a lot of Catholic ritual with the caveat that the point is usually something like "dunking on Marcionites"

somehow i doubt this is remotely true outside of "some of us watched the movie between its release and now" and it's getting clickbait spun into "they're preparing for the real thing by watching a movie!"

Funny that the diddlers in the Vatican need to look to the diddlers in Hollywood for details on how to run their religion.

Every real Catholic knows that the Conclave must begin with The Precession of the Simulacra

It would be funny if they take the "wrong" lessons from the film and begin plotting to undermine candidates and forming liberal and conservative factions

Ah who am I kidding, of course they'll do that anyway

It's just in the Vatican basement and nobody wants to go down there
