After the pope dies, his ring (called the Ring of the Fisherman) really is removed and destroyed
Tale
When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world's most secretive and ancient events, selecting a new Pope, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church.. Many of the actions Cardinal Lawrence and the rest of the cardinals take during the film's conclave process are true and accurate to the Catholic faith and centuries of tradition.
The papal apartment really is closed off with crimson ribbon and sealed with a wax papal stamp
The Vatican really makes an official announcement that the throne of the Holy See (the governing body of the Catholic church) is vacant. The College of Cardinals really are sequestered in apartments (called the Domus Sanctae Marthae or Saint Martha's House in real life) to eat and sleep between votes.
It is stated that Ayendi would be the first African Pope
And finally, the windows and doors to the Sistine Chapel, where the actual election takes place and ballots are cast, really are darkened, shuttered, and locked to maintain the secrecy of the conclave.. The Roman Catholic Church has had three African Popes: Victor The First (189-199 AD), Miltiades (also known as Melchiades, 311-314 AD), and Gelasius The First (492-496 AD)..

Acting, intrigue, dialogue and cinematography are spot on throughout but the warning signs are there earlier in the movie
When the potential candidates talk about being a new liberal progressive church, it makes you wonder where else there going to go with it and boy do they go with it.I let the odd tone shift go but the ending, which I won't spoil, that comes out of a different movie and causes the lead to go against everything they shoot for during the movie.It seems like a slightly less expected political thriller over what is a big event in the world as and when it happens but then shifts like rollercoaster in the final scenes.
