‘The Two Popes’ is a fun, if historically inaccurate, look at Francis and Benedict

I've been too hesitant to watch it, mainly because it's a Netflix production and I don't trust them to portray the Church or it's people in any kind of truly positive or virtuous light. Let alone demonstrate orthodox faith and morals.

I mean, this is the same company that's put out a blasphemous satire film about Christ in a homosexual relationship. It's outrageous.

I loved it. Thought it was a great movie.

I wouldn't waste my time on it and I'm thinking about cancelling Netflix.

Yours in the Lord,

I saw a trailer for "The New Pope", I think I'll be passing on that. There seems to be a lot of Pope movies out there right now.

As fiction it was OK but it got Benedict so wrong. My son saw it and then we watched it last night. I'm not recommending it as anything other than fiction.
