The notes on my conclave gif sets are really eye opening to how a lot of ppl a) don’t understand the hierarchy of the Catholic Church or the Vatican at all b) think all religious women are inherently oppressed and powerless c) think the movie is unrealistic bc liberal/radical catholics apparently don’t exist never have and d) really wanna fuck Isabella Rossellini

#someone said they want to join her convent #bitch she’s at the VATICAN she’s not a regular nun #the new pope especially has given nuns director and high ranking admin roles in the Vatican #this is not sister act she is basically the attorney general #not that they are progressive by any means but it is only slightly more sexist than the us gov like 10 years ago #and also the Vatican is literally a sovereign nation #and also like the gov - while many cardinals/officials are conservative you have to go through so much schooling (more than the gov)#just to get there - these ppl have multiple degrees they are smart many of them are liberal #these ppl are philosophers they are chidi from good place #the assumption that bc someone is religious they must be dumb and backwards is so crazy to me #maybe go outside go talk to ppl of other faiths they are not aliens #there are feminist nuns fighting for equal treatment- the movie highlights this like ???? abre los ojos dora #why are u making me defend Catholics I’m mad now #we wouldn’t have ended slavery if it wasn’t for a kooky radical white man killing bitches all across the south in the name of Christ
