In "Conclave," the Pope they elect is intersex. That's the big twist

Conclave PR team inconsolable rn. Had the irl Pope kicked the bucket a few months ago, they would have had that Oscar sewn up.




If the intersex Pope in this story has ovaries & uterus that work, then oughtn’t he be getting periods? Which would have been noticeable as a non-male difference in his early-mid teens?



I'm going to actually watch this. Evidently the conclave details are as authentic as anything out there

Some Catholic historian was invited to speak on BBC2 the other night as the news broke, and he cautioned that the Conclave film AND book are about as accurate a depiction of the real procedure as Seven Days In Tibet was about the Dalai Lama.

Just read an article citing 2 other Catholic historians who say it's pretty accurate 🤷‍♀️

they also said though that only cardinals going thru it actually know

in the book, the new pope is from a small village in the Phillipines and his parents just raised him as male and he never knew about his condition. He just learned about it after being examined by a doctor after a bombing... so it's not exactly a drag queen story hour type of deal

Shortly before Benitez's election is announced, Lawrence is informed that the late pope had paid for Benitez to visit a gender reassignment clinic – news that would force Benitez to step down if made public. He confronts Benitez, who explains that he is intersex, with a penis, uterus, and ovaries. Benitez chose to keep his female organs, as "I am as God made me."

Something doesn't add up.
