Conclave – Film Discussion
11/19/2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EST
Join us for a conversation inspired by the film “Conclave”. We’ll view a few scenes together and open a dialogue on how the story speaks to our polarized times. Please watch the full movie ahead of time (available on Amazon Prime) so you’ll be ready to dive in.
Conclave follows the election of a new pope amid secrecy, politics, and moral complexity. At its heart, it is the journey of a leader who wrestles with faith, doubt, identity, and duty. The story challenges assumptions from across the spectrum, offering both moments of comfort and moments of discomfort.
We may explore the following questions among others:
What touched you most about this film?
Which character were you rooting for, and why?
If you could step into the Sistine Chapel during this conclave, how do you think you would vote? And whose fears do you identify with?
In what ways, if at all, does Conclave challenge both liberal and conservative perspectives?
The primary character Lawrence says in the film – “Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance”. Do you agree or disagree?
What role does certainty play in how we engage with those we disagree with today?
Can doubt actually strengthen our faith or values?
