Secrets of the Conclave
BBC2
A compelling documentary looking into the closely guarded process and rituals of the Conclave, the Catholic Church’s appointment of a new pope. Following the death of Pope Francis in April, the documentary details the complex procedure of considering successors, including the candidate who become Pope Leo XIV. With interviews and exclusive footage from the Vatican, it’s a cardinal treat for those who relished the themes of the Robert Harris novel, Conclave, and the 2024 film adaptation.
