if i was a casting director who saw the description of a catholic cardinal as young and boyish even at 67 i would have said fuck awwwfffff and given up. but thats not what the casting director of conclave said,,, they knew he was out there

I’m like 20 minutes into Conclave and immediately enchanted by Cardinal Benitez. He is like if a dove and a fawn shared the same body (harmoniously too they’re FROLICKING) and I’m fully convinced he is an angel. I’m neither catholic nor religious but I think attending his mass or having him witness my confession would completely heal me and I would live out the rest of my days reading to the elderly and nursing sick animals and all that. He’s had 3 minutes of screen time and I would die for him. God Bless you Cardinal Benitez I hope you con the clave

vincent “no one will know the violence it took to become this gentle” benitez. i think. something something.

funniest bit in Conclave by far is Cardinal Vincent Benítez, the only normal person in a 5 mile radius, getting up in a room full of Cardinals and going, "you are all petty, mean and a bit weird, and inshallah I shall not return here ever again" and 118 cardinals were like damn, he's right, we can't let him escape

is it this easy for ex Catholics to feel faith again for a moment it feels like it had never left I felt for a second awash by the love the stained glass windows and hyms and some scriptures once held for me and then I wake up to reality and realize it’s probably just because of his holiness (Vincent Benítez) like. Nvm. Sorry.
