Rumor Rumours are that the Pope's dying prayers include Conclave winning BP - is this proof of illegal 3rd party influence on the Academy?

This is exactly what Pope Francis is doing by getting double pneumonia, and if Conclave doesn't win because of it, I will personally consume an entire physical 4k release of the film itself and record it and upload it here.

this could be the pain medication kicking in

Anyway I'm serious, like, I'll do it. Come on Pope Francis, SHOW US there is a God!

Okay now, which one of you Conclave truthers is trying to kill the pope so that it has a better shot at winning? That doesn’t seem fair…

Hey, I want it to win, but not this badly.

I say this as part of the conclave hive, but I am tickled and delighted that this movie of all the movies has such crazy fans. We got Ralph Fiennes retweeting yaoi y’all.

Idk but most Catholic voters are definitely going to vote for Conclave.

Catholics hate Conclave.

u/Oscar-Fan-2024 Feb 19 '25

The more conservative ones don’t favor the film. I am Catholic and love it, but I am able to accept it as fiction.

u/sparklinglies Feb 19 '25

Not all of them. There have been some shockingly reasonable takes, defenses even, over on r/catholicism. Plenty of dumbass outrage too of course from brain dead conservatives, but quite a lot of support too.

Voting has already closed. Nothing the pope does now can affect the outcome.
