Megyn Kelly Slams ‘Conclave’ as ‘Disgusting Anti-Catholic Film’ and Says ‘Shame on Ralph Fiennes’: ‘Catholics Are Always Fair Game to Smear’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director SPOILER ALERT: This article contains major plot details from the finale of Edward Berger’s “Conclave.” Megyn Kelly took to X to criticize Edward Berger’s “Conclave” as a “disgusting anti-Catholic film.” The acclaimed drama stars Ralph Fiennes as a cardinal who uncovers secrets and scandals at the Vatican while organizing a papal conclave to elect the next pope.

The film premiered at last year’s Telluride Film Festival and has emerged as a surefire Oscar contender this awards season. “Just made the huge mistake of watching the much-celebrated ‘Conclave’ and it is the most disgusting anti-Catholic film I have seen in a long time,” Kelly wrote to her 3.4 million X followers. “Shame on Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci & John Lithgow for starring in it & shame on director Edward Berger (among others).” Kelly took particular offense to the film’s twist ending, in which the newly elected pope, Vincent Cardinal Benitez (Carlos Diehz), reveals he is intersex.

Fiennes’ character agrees to keep the news a secret as his election is made public. “They make THE POPE INTERSEX! This is the big exciting twist at the end.

I wish I had known so I wouldn’t have watched it,” Kelly wrote in her post. “There are almost no redeeming characters in the movie – every cardinal is morally bankrupt/repulsive.
