Conclave has been nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The most annoying of these nominations is Best Adapted Screenplay by Peter Straughn, based on the novel by Robert Harris, because neither the screenplay or the novel has a clue about the Catholic Church. Even though they have a LOT of opinions on how to fix it. Case in point, a scene where its hero breaks the Confessional seal, which any Cardinal would know incurs an AUTOMATIC excommunication. But hey, who needs logic or honesty when you have a big message to deliver?WATCH our previous discussion on CONCLAVE'S TWIST ENDING https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmhBaDur4bA
