Before Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected as the new Pope, Catholic cardinals reportedly consulted the 2024 film 'Conclave' ahead of the conclave to find Pope Francis' successor. According to Politico, a number of cardinals who are a part of the ongoing conclave that began Wednesday in Rome watched 'Conclave' as a, quote, "helpful research tool" to learn more about the process of selecting a new pope.

French President Emmanuel Macron is under scrutiny for allegedly trying to sway the upcoming papal conclave in favor of French cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline. Conservative Italian outlets claim Macron met with key Vatican figures to boost Aveline’s candidacy. While some label it a diplomatic power play to restore influence with the Holy See, others dismiss it as rumor. The conclave, set for May 7, will see 135 cardinals vote to elect Pope Francis’ successor. The Elysee and Catholic groups deny interference, but suspicion continues to swirl in Rome and beyond.
