That’s a false assumption
Scenario
When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with presiding over one of the world’s most mysterious and ancient events, the election of a new pope, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. Based on Robert Harris’ 2016 novel “Conclave,” Cardinal Benitez delivers his climactic speech in Spanish. It’s a little hard to believe that all of the other cardinals understand him without a problem.

All of the cardinals are fluent in Latin by default, and many speak Italian in other conversations in the film. All of these languages are part of the Romance language family, so it’s not a stretch to assume that most of the cardinals have a basic knowledge of Spanish.

The thrills and games keep coming
Allegri: Miserere performed by Capella Musicale Pontificia Sistina, Massimo Palombella courtesy of Deutsche Grammophon GMBH under license from Universal Music Operations Ltd. Disclaimer – I am Catholic and yes, as many say and note, the ending is a real 24-card surprise, but I’m not giving anything away here, but there are many stories to be told in the story that remains locked in the Vatican labyrinth. About 80 of them are masters of their craft, of course, and it shows.
Living Latin in conversation?
Excellent production. OMG! I will say, however, that there are about 80 Cardinals from all sides of our planet, only a select few are in focus and the others are a matter of background, so to speak.
I would be happy to have various conversations on the side
Nuns/sisters are of course one thing and I’m happy to accept that. But for heaven’s sake, you have to order the book for that.
