The Confirmation saints of Conclave Characters (Part 1)
Please note that all of these headcanons are based on vibes and the knowledge I have as a Catholic. You must imagine them as 13 year olds picking out their saintly bff for this to make any sense! I highly recommend you all do your own research on each of these Saints to get a better idea of why I picked them.
Thomas Lawrence and Saint Michael the Archangel:


He says (in the book) that in youth till when he got cancer, he thought of himself as a knight. Every Catholic man that thinks that way lovessss Saint Michael. Saint Michael the Archangel is the patron saint of Vatican City, Rome, and poor souls. Thomas Lawrence is a poor soul in the Vatican during, and before, the conclave. Also, the term Archangel is typically used to describe an angle that heralds all the other angels just like how the Dean heralds a new pope.
Aldo Bellini and Saint Sebastian:


“THIS IS A WAR!” Hits different if you take that into the context that Saint Sebastian is the patron of soldiers it gives you a whole new perspective. Also, Saint Sebastian is the unofficial patron of LGBTQ+ folk so if you are a firm Gay Aldo truther (like myself) it adds another layer to his character. Saint Sebastian was an early Christian martyr who was set to die by arrows, miraculously he survived the attempt at his life and was nursed back to health by Irene of Rome. He was then beat to death and his body was thrown into the Roman sewers, later a woman named Luciana was visited by him in a vision and she later found his skull and placed it into the catacombs.
Vincent Benitez and Saint Francis of Assisi:


Cliche, yeah! But hear me out okay! Vincent has shown a great care for poor and disadvantaged people, we know this because it’s handed to us by Ray as he makes Vincent’s profile. Saint Francis of Assisi was raised quite wealthy but always had this attitude towards his wealth, he didn’t feel fulfilled by materialistic things. He was charitable and was harassed because of this. While in Rome he visited the chapel of San Damiano where Jesus Christ spoke to him saying, “Francis, Francis, go and repair My church which, as you can see, is falling into ruins." He took this as “repair the church you’re in” and so he tried to pay the priest of the church where he was promptly yelled at by him and so Francis stormed out. Francis would later spend his time with the leper colony in Assisi, much like how Vincent helped in clinics during his missionary years. I believe Vincent must have prayed to Saint Francis as he traveled from Kabul to Rome as he (Francis) is the patron of stowaways where he grants them safe passage to their destination.
Sister Agnes and Saint Teresa of Ávila:


Sister Agnes is an incredibly intelligent woman and we are able to see that even in her very short time on screen. Likewise, Saint Teresa was also a very smart and well rounded woman. Saint Teresa of Ávila is the patron of those in religious orders, one could say that a young Agnes felt called to the religious life thus leading her to chose Saint Teresa of Ávila for comfort. Saint Teresa of Ávila is a very famous Christian mystic and author. Truthfully, you must look her up as her life is something that cannot be condensed into a Tumblr post. Also I am incredibly biased as I love both Sister Agnes and Saint Teresa of Ávila soooooo…
Goffredo Tedesco and Saint John Bosco:


Saint John Bosco is the patron saint of students and Christian apprentices. We know that Tedesco has several PhDs in theology and that he studied under Ratzinger! Like Tedesco, Saint John Bosco came from a relatively poor family and in one of his earliest acts he would call out his fellow classmates as they blasphemed and shouted. Saint John Bosco, as a priest, supported a form of politics that acknowledged the supreme authority of the Pope. Saint John Bosco also wrote a LOT, just like how we can assume based of Tedesco’s many PhDs that he’s published quite a few works. In my opinion, I believe that Tedesco chose Saint John Bosco out of admiration for all he overcame, ultimately becoming the people that criticized him.
