I don’t always get my Catholic news from Ben Shapiro but when I do, it’s this one. Ben Shapiro read the book and saw the movie so he’s got this one down.

It’s from Hollywood and that’s all most of you needed to know. But this one has a heckuva’ cast. Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci among others. It looks expensive.

So this movie is about a conclave where the next pope will be chosen. Of course there’s intrigue and conspiracies and plots. But guess who the baddies are. Just guess. Yup. How’d you know? It’s the faithful Catholics who want the faith handed down from Christ to resemble the faith handed down by Christ. The good guys are those who want to change everything. In short, this is the anti-Malachi Martin movie.

And you’ll never guess how it ends. Yup. They elect a female pope. I’m not kidding. Ben Shapiro will tell you all about it if you’re interested in the details. But this is anti-Catholic Oscar bait. Avoid it.

Continued below.

I’m still praying for Shapiro’s conversion ;)

They should make fun of Muslims or other religious minorities. See how the left responds.

Such a double standards, ugh

There’s a book? Dan Brown the author? Or maybe Jane Fonda?
Here you go:

The eighth ballot sees Benítez elected pope with 92 votes, fulfilling the two-thirds majority requirement. Benítez consents to the honor and chooses the name Innocent XIV. Just before the result of the conclave is publicly revealed, however, O'Malley brings to Lomeli's attention that Benítez had booked and later abandoned an appointment at a gender reassignment clinic in Geneva earlier that year. Lomeli privately asks Benítez for an explanation. The new pope reveals that he was born intersex and raised as a male by his parents. For most of his life, he was entirely unaware that his physical characteristics were different in any way from other males. It was only after he was injured in a bombing in Iraq that he was examined by a doctor for the first time in his life and informed of his condition. Benítez had tried to resign from his office to undergo gender reassignment surgery, but the late pope refused his resignation and created him cardinal in pectore with full knowledge of his condition. Benítez ultimately declined surgery and resumed his duties. Lomeli knows that Benítez's secret will inevitably be discovered by a future medical examination or upon his death, but resolves to cover it up for now, trusting that God's will guided the conclave's outcome.

I place it in a Handmaids Tale category only less successful in sales. Because people would rather see every day “-“ people being exploited by Christians and not those same “-“‘s being exploited by people who look like centuries old religious figures. Not the visual that will keep them interested.

God bless Ben, and I mean that, I respect him, but the audience he is preaching to about anti Catholic movies. Well THAT audience knows exactly what to look out for. We hope it fails in theatres so that the fertile young Catholics who can be easily swayed get a hold of it but they won’t. Too boring for them

In this day and age, I’m not so sure. The Handmaid’s Tale is a yellow tale like a dime store novel imo. It’s titillating, sure. But there are many that have it out for the Catholic Church these days. I’m sure this was inspired by the myth of Pope Joan. Hollywood will give it a heavy dose of the wokeness it feels it needs to get their message across.
