Megyn Kelly Critiques ‘Conclave’ Over Catholic Theming
Megyn Kelly has gained notoriety for her vocal criticisms, particularly toward the latest film ‘Conclave.’ In a recent Twitter post, she condemned the movie as “the most disgusting anti-Catholic film” she’d seen in a long time. Directed by Edward Berger and featuring top actors such as Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow, ‘Conclave’ has gained recognition in the awards circuit, winning a Golden Globe for Best Screenplay and sparking Oscar discussions.
Kelly’s main grievance centers around the portrayal of the Catholic Church in ‘Conclave,’ particularly the controversial twist ending that reveals the newly elected pope to be intersex. This revelation challenges traditional views within the Catholic Church regarding gender, power, and leadership.
Despite the film’s success and critical acclaim, Kelly’s objections reflect a broader debate surrounding the portrayal of sensitive topics in media, particularly when it comes to religious themes. While some argue that ‘Conclave’ offers a nuanced exploration of faith and power dynamics within the Church, others, including Kelly, view it as disrespectful and anti-Catholic.
As the conversation continues, it is clear that ‘Conclave’ has struck a chord with audiences and critics alike, prompting discussions about representation, religious doctrine, and the boundaries of artistic expression in the modern world.
