Has Pope Leo XIV Seen Ralph Fiennes’ Conclave? New Pontiff’s Brother Spills the Beans

by

Robert Francis Prevost is about to assume the role of the new Pope, and before this political figure becomes the leader of the church, his brother has disclosed whether the Pope has watched the Conclave. In an interview with NBC Chicago, John Prevost, the brother of the new Pope, mentioned that he suggested the pontiff watch the movie “Ralph Fiennes Starrer” to help him understand how to act in his new position.

In simpler terms, Leo XIV’s brother attempted to guide Francis Prevost on how to act during a significant event, using a reference to the movie “Conclave” as an analogy. During an interview, he said, “I asked him if he had seen the movie ‘Conclave’ to help him understand the situation?” Then, he mentioned that Prevost had recently watched the movie “Conclave,” implying that he was now aware of how to conduct himself.

The brother of the newly appointed Pope shared that they both enjoy playing Wordle and other mentally engaging games. John added that he was expressing this because the role he’s assuming now carries a significant weight, so it’s nice to find humor in something.

The politician’s brother elaborated, “He enjoys playing Wordle and Words With Friends to distract himself from daily life and current events. Then we discuss ongoing matters. I once asked him about his red socks, which isn’t always met with enthusiasm. Just everyday chit-chat like that.

Earlier in conversations with The New York Times, John mentioned that his brother is likely to emulate the path of the deceased Pope, who lived to be 88 years old. He expressed, “They were close friends. They had known each other prior to him becoming pope and even before my brother held the title of bishop.

Regarding the film “Conclave,” it was adapted from a novel written by Robert Harris. In 2024, it was among the highly praised movies and even earned an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
