Already, “Conclave” appears to be the most relevant movie of the year, whether by coincidence or providence. The inner workings of Vatican affairs now have a spotlight unlike we’ve ever seen in pop culture, giving “life imitates art” a whole new meaning.

The first thing the new pope will do is choose a name. In the history of the papacy, the most commonly used name has been John, first chosen in 523 by Saint John I, the Vatican says. The last pope to choose that name was Italian Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, elected Pope John XXIII, in 1958. Roncalli was proclaimed a saint by Pope Francis in 2014.

Pope Leo XIV’s brother asked him if he’d seen the movie so he would “know how to behave” when the election got underway.
