Ping!
Given the unsavory history of many of the Popes - I’m kinda glad they are going the fictional route.
the women-should-be-priests contingent has hired Michael Moore to do its PR?
And it will be all over the internet too. Wait, it’s here already. Sheesh.
**unsavory history of many of the Popes &&
How about a few?
Let me guess. After a rocky start she ends up being a super-duper popette.
It is a fictional story, but they probably won’t portray it that way. They’ll claim it’s true or that SOME PEOPLE say it is true, etc.

Okay. And...?
By the way, nice mock up of the Tardis or whatever that is.

The “bad Popes” weren’t nearly as bad as some would have us believe, especially if you compare them to the temporal rulers of the times. I wouldn’t mind a biopic of Alexander VI so long as it was fair. I object to the outrageous lie that there was ever a Pope Joan.
I know a lot more about them right now, as another poster was kind enough to post a link, and did so without using words that might imply I am an idiot for not being an expert on the subject, thanks.
No implication was necessary.
