Secrets Of The Conclave

Following the death of Pope Francis, 133 cardinals descend on the Vatican to undertake one of the Catholic Church’s most solemn responsibilities: the election of the new pope.

The papal conclave is among the most significant and closely guarded events in the Catholic Church, where cardinals serve not only as electors but as potential successors to the papacy.

This documentary offers a rare glimpse into the ancient ritual of the conclave, a process of prayer, discussion, spiritual reflection and divine guidance as cardinals make their selection.
