As usual, a brilliantly written review Scott. Definitely intrigued me enough to watch the movie. As someone who had to overcome a religious childhood and background I look forward to how the movie addresses living life on earth vs. living to get into heaven. Well done!
Thank you, Randy! You’re an excellent writer, which is both testament and credit to your character. “Conclave” doesn’t provide that contrast—its election metaphor’s narrowly contextual to the process of choosing one to guide parishioners here on earth—so it’s not meant to be taken in a literal sense. It’s about the days and nights of making that choice.

Thanks for the clarification Scott.
My pleasure, Randy. Do you have a favorite local movie theater?
We do actually, right here in Morganton that we try to support whenever there is a good flick there. Somehow it survived the pandemic.
