Synopsis

Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict. Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church.

Film super inspirant qui m’a un peu réconcilié avec Benoît 16 et m’a convaincu que le pape François était le pape qui il fallait en 2020. Personnage inspirant, humble, véhiculant les valeurs qu’on attend de l Église. Je précise que je suis catholique par éducation mais complètement agnostique et non pratiquante depuis 20 ans, voir remontée contre l’église qui est selon moi, largement responsable de la soumission des femmes depuis le moyen âge ! 9/10
