Sometimes real life, Hollywood, and parody all merge into one amalgamation of horror.
This is one of those times.
Yes, the Catholic Church is participating in a tradition rooted in more than 1,000 years of church history, and to prepare, its top leaders are watching a woke Hollywood film where (spoiler warning) a secret hermaphrodite is elected pope.
You can't make it up.
As crazy as it might sound, some of the 133 high-ranking clerics set to enter the Sistine Chapel when the conclave starts on Wednesday have looked to the Ralph Fiennes movie ― handily titled just 'Conclave' ― for pointers.
'Some have watched it in the cinema,' a cleric involved in the real thing admitted to POLITICO.
Yes, the film with an "intersex" pope that was made to challenge the Catholic Church's thinking on sex and gender - THAT'S the film that "high-ranking clerics" are watching to prepare for electing the actual pope?
Here's Megyn Kelly slamming the film as anti-Catholic a few months ago:
There are genetic abnormalities that cause children to have dual sets of reproductive systems, just like kids are born with extra fingers and toes.
None of this diminishes the fact that the baby is either XX (female) or XY (male), but who needs science when you're a woke activist trying to reform the Catholic Church according to your sex cult?
It all might sound painfully relevant. The film is seen as remarkably accurate even by cardinals, said the cleric, making it a helpful research tool, especially at a time when so many of the conclave participants have little experience of Vatican politics and protocol.
Politico is part of the woke propaganda machine, so take this with a grain of salt, but holy moly.
A majority of the cardinals who flocked to Rome in the weeks since the death of Pope Francis were appointed by the late pontiff, and have never experienced a conclave. Mirroring the Fiennes film, many also come from small, previously overlooked dioceses across the globe.
If this is true, then Catholics, come get your boys.
