1. Where is he now?Copy !req
2. He's angry. But not with you,
or for that matter with meCopy !req
3. His anger keeps Him
from viewing matters objectively.Copy !req
4. And so, in protest,
he's moved to a new placeCopy !req
5. he's gone to the outskirts of townCopy !req
6. a filthy studio apartment upstairs
from a tire repair shop.Copy !req
7. At night, God suffers from the heat.Copy !req
8. He can't seem to sleep,
because He's come to the conclusionCopy !req
9. that there's nothing
He can do about human beings.Copy !req
10. He's decided that He's lost the 'u'.Copy !req
11. Now it's up to you.Copy !req
12. The attentions that Your Holiness
has been payingCopy !req
13. to the wife of the commandant
of the Swiss GuardCopy !req
14. have not gone unnoticed.Copy !req
15. According to vox populiCopy !req
16. it is believed that the Holy FatherCopy !req
17. is conducting an unseemly relationship
with that woman.Copy !req
18. Monsignor Gutierrez was rightCopy !req
19. in the Vatican,
gossip is called calumny.Copy !req
20. Your HolinessCopy !req
21. what do you intend to do?Copy !req
22. Revolution, Tommaso!Copy !req
23. I intend to start a revolution.Copy !req
24. People say you're a saint.Copy !req
25. People sayCopy !req
26. you're a saint who performs miracles.Copy !req
27. Hail MaryCopy !req
28. full of grace.Copy !req
29. Our Lord is with thee.Copy !req
30. Blessed art thou among womenCopy !req
31. and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb, Jesus.Copy !req
32. Holy Mary.Copy !req
33. Mother of GodCopy !req
34. pray for us sinnersCopy !req
35. now and at the hour of our death.Copy !req
36. Amen.Copy !req
37. Bingo.Copy !req
38. Now Holy Father.Copy !req
39. I no longer really know
what miracle to wish for.Copy !req
40. I no longer really knowCopy !req
41. what miracle to wish for.Copy !req
42. EstherCopy !req
43. I love GodCopy !req
44. because it is so painful
to love human beings.Copy !req
45. I love a God that never leaves
or that always leaves meCopy !req
46. GodCopy !req
47. the absence of GodCopy !req
48. always reassuringCopy !req
49. and definitive.Copy !req
50. I'm a priest.Copy !req
51. I've renounced my fellow manCopy !req
52. my fellow womanCopy !req
53. because I don't want to suffer.Copy !req
54. Because I'm incapableCopy !req
55. of withstanding the heartbreak of love.Copy !req
56. Because I'm unhappyCopy !req
57. like all priests.Copy !req
58. It would be wonderful to love you
the way you want to be lovedCopy !req
59. but it's not possible.Copy !req
60. Because I am not a manCopy !req
61. I'm a coward.Copy !req
62. I'm a coward.Copy !req
63. Like all priests.Copy !req
64. Watch out for the custodian.Copy !req
65. Are you up for going on?Copy !req
66. I am. What about you?Copy !req
67. Sister Mary will be upset.Copy !req
68. I don't care.
I wanna find my mom and dad.Copy !req
69. I'm going back.Copy !req
70. I'm sorry, Lenny.Copy !req
71. OK.Copy !req
72. You couldn't get to sleep.Copy !req
73. The evening doesn't console me.Copy !req
74. Nothing's changed, as you can see.Copy !req
75. Well, something's changed. You were just a jerk,
now you've become the Pope.Copy !req
76. Let's smoke a cigarette
together, secretly.Copy !req
77. Like when we were kids.
- Like when we were kids.Copy !req
78. I'm glad you found
a moment to say hello to me.Copy !req
79. How could you doubt that I'd come?Copy !req
80. I always doubt.Copy !req
81. When are you gonna make this
blessed speech to the cardinals?Copy !req
82. When I have something to say.Copy !req
83. Well, I'm all out of cigarettes.Copy !req
84. The Holy Father isn't
in the Apostolic Palace.Copy !req
85. Nor is the Cardinal Secretary of State.Copy !req
86. What time is it?Copy !req
87. Three in the morning.Copy !req
88. I'll take care of it. You go to sleep
and don't say a word to anyone.Copy !req
89. - Will you let me in?
- Of course. - Thank you.Copy !req
90. You are very beautiful at night Sister Mary.
- Please...Copy !req
91. Let me introduce you
to my best friend, Girolamo.Copy !req
92. Is he a good friend?
- Yes.Copy !req
93. Yes, the only one
who never criticizes me.Copy !req
94. Why did you come here?Copy !req
95. Because of the Pope.Copy !req
96. How disappointing!Copy !req
97. I thought you came because of me.Copy !req
98. Nobody knows where the Pope is.Copy !req
99. Oh... don't worry.Copy !req
100. Sooner or later all popes need
to remind themselves what freedom is.Copy !req
101. Then they come back.Copy !req
102. We had to go to retrieve
Pius XIII's predecessorCopy !req
103. from a bingo parlor.Copy !req
104. He was arguing with the caller,
saying he was cheating.Copy !req
105. When you wantCopy !req
106. you know how to be quite comforting.Copy !req
107. How beautiful you are,
Sister Mary, at night.Copy !req
108. You already told me that.Copy !req
109. We love God because it is so painful
to love other men and women.Copy !req
110. You and I have renouncedCopy !req
111. our fellow men, and women,
because we don't want to sufferCopy !req
112. because we're incapable of
withstanding the heartbreak of love.Copy !req
113. Because we're unhappy.Copy !req
114. Because we're cowards.Copy !req
115. Like all priests and all nuns.Copy !req
116. Your words are beautiful.Copy !req
117. But that's not all.Copy !req
118. They're true.Copy !req
119. They aren't my words,
they're the words of your Pope.Copy !req
120. Yes, yes Girolamo,
now I'll tell Sister Mary.Copy !req
121. What are you going to tell me?Copy !req
122. That I had found a way
of destroying the Holy Father.Copy !req
123. I have collected all the evidence for a good
old-fashioned scandal.Copy !req
124. But I'm not going to do it!Copy !req
125. The evidence is in here.Copy !req
126. Here, you take it.Copy !req
127. Your hands are safer than mine.Copy !req
128. Because, you know something,
Sister Mary?Copy !req
129. You were right,
your Pope really is a saint.Copy !req
130. Yes.Copy !req
131. He is.Copy !req
132. Good evening, Sir.Copy !req
133. Hi erm...Copy !req
134. would you sell us some cigarettes?Copy !req
135. I don't know if we have any.Copy !req
136. Make yourselves comfortable,
I'll go check.Copy !req
137. Grazie.Copy !req
138. Andrew!Copy !req
139. Please, take a seat.Copy !req
140. English?Copy !req
141. Americans.Copy !req
142. You look like a couple of priests.Copy !req
143. We are not priests. Have you ever seen
two priests wearing track suits?Copy !req
144. I've seen everything.Copy !req
145. By the wayCopy !req
146. did you know I have clientsCopy !req
147. who insist I am proof
of the existence of God?Copy !req
148. Interesting theory.Copy !req
149. But they are wrong.Copy !req
150. They see me
because they can't see far.Copy !req
151. Can you see far?Copy !req
152. Yes.Copy !req
153. And I have proof
of the existence of God.Copy !req
154. Show me.Copy !req
155. Ma'am. Show me, I implore you.Copy !req
156. Your eyes.Copy !req
157. Your eyes, Sir.Copy !req
158. They are proof
of the existence of God.Copy !req
159. We should go.Copy !req
160. Goodnight ma'am.Copy !req
161. Do you remember the timeCopy !req
162. Sister Mary took us to the
custodian's house?Copy !req
163. Billy's mother,
on her deathbed?Copy !req
164. Yeah, I remember.
I don't wanna talk about it.Copy !req
165. It's pointless for you to go on
pretending nothing happened, Lenny.Copy !req
166. Something extraordinary
happened in that room.Copy !req
167. I don't feel like talking about it.Copy !req
168. You're my best friend
and I don't understand you.Copy !req
169. Why don't you wanna talk about it?Copy !req
170. I only want to talkCopy !req
171. about things that I understand.Copy !req
172. Don't you get that?Copy !req
173. So, what if I asked you
to become prefectCopy !req
174. for the Congregation for the Clergy?Copy !req
175. Select the candidates for the
priesthood from all over the world.Copy !req
176. Would you do it?Copy !req
177. And what if I were to refuse?Copy !req
178. Then I'd be forced to make recourse
to my sovereign power.Copy !req
179. I am the Pope now.Copy !req
180. I wanna tell you something.Copy !req
181. It's something I've never told you before.Copy !req
182. So tell me now.Copy !req
183. When you first came to the orphanage,
I was watchingCopy !req
184. from a window and...Copy !req
185. I don't remember your father but...Copy !req
186. I remember your mother.Copy !req
187. What did she look like?Copy !req
188. Her hair was parted in the middle,
and long on the sidesCopy !req
189. and her eyesCopy !req
190. were brightCopy !req
191. and impassiveCopy !req
192. which made me think she was sad.Copy !req
193. That's exactly how I dream of her.Copy !req
194. Always.Copy !req
195. Why didn't you ever tell me?Copy !req
196. When we were boys, I thought...Copy !req
197. I thought it would
cause you too much pain.Copy !req
198. It causes me too
much pain even now.Copy !req
199. Did you want to run away?Copy !req
200. Come on, let's go back inside.Copy !req
201. I haven't said anything
to the Cardinal Secretary of State.Copy !req
202. Thank you so much, Sister Mary.Copy !req
203. Monsignor, I forgive you for having
betrayed our confidencesCopy !req
204. to the Cardinal Secretary of State.Copy !req
205. Your Holiness,
how did you find out?Copy !req
206. I forgive you for being an alcoholicCopy !req
207. and I recommend
that you stop drinkingCopy !req
208. now that you're about to set off
on a challenging mission to America.Copy !req
209. Your HolinessCopy !req
210. what else do you know about me?Copy !req
211. I know everything a powerful man
needs to know about the people he works with.Copy !req
212. And I, not VoielloCopy !req
213. am the most powerful man of all.Copy !req
214. And what else do you
know about me, Holy Father?Copy !req
215. What else is there to know?Copy !req
216. You always talk to me
about my holinessCopy !req
217. the miracle I've supposedly performedCopy !req
218. but you never tell me anything
about the only miracle I needCopy !req
219. the miracle that doesn't
happened and never will:Copy !req
220. seeing my parents again.Copy !req
221. You must have faith in God,
Your HolinessCopy !req
222. and you'll see them again.Copy !req
223. I'm getting old.Copy !req
224. Time is turning into a thin sheetCopy !req
225. and seeing them deadCopy !req
226. is of no interest to me.Copy !req
227. I'm only interested in the living.Copy !req
228. Holy FatherCopy !req
229. I beg you to reconsider your decision
to send to America, Monsignor Gutierrez.Copy !req
230. The Kurtwell case needs to be examined
by a person of substantial reputation.Copy !req
231. Gutierrez is not up to it.Copy !req
232. He has none of the necessary expertiseCopy !req
233. and moreover, he's fragileCopy !req
234. and emotionalCopy !req
235. and the Holy See
will send the world the messageCopy !req
236. that it does not take seriously
the problem of child abuseCopy !req
237. or, even worse,
is not interested in it.Copy !req
238. And there is another problem.Copy !req
239. I didn't want to tell you, but nowCopy !req
240. I am forced to.Copy !req
241. Your Holiness.Copy !req
242. Gutierrez is an alcoholic.Copy !req
243. I know.Copy !req
244. And there is also another secret.Copy !req
245. What if I knew that one too?Copy !req
246. What if I knew all your secretsCopy !req
247. Your Eminence?Copy !req
248. What were you hoping to achieve?
Start a scandal?Copy !req
249. The idea of threateningCopy !req
250. that poor girl,
who suffers from sterility!Copy !req
251. Will you stop at nothing,
Your Eminence?Copy !req
252. Don't you know the meaning
of the word pity?Copy !req
253. How far were you willing to go?Copy !req
254. Would you have blackmailed
the Holy Father?Copy !req
255. Would you have gone so far
as to give those pictures to the pressCopy !req
256. to insinuate a non-existent
sexual relationshipCopy !req
257. between me and that young woman?Copy !req
258. You haven't figured out that your old
methods only work on the old popesCopy !req
259. who were afraid of losing consensus.Copy !req
260. They don't work with me.Copy !req
261. I am the young Pope.
I put no stock in consensus.Copy !req
262. Who told...Copy !req
263. Who told you all these things?Copy !req
264. You put on airs as a politician.Copy !req
265. You still haven't figured out
you've run up againstCopy !req
266. a politician far cannier than you.Copy !req
267. Me.Copy !req
268. Holy Father.Copy !req
269. I've already destroyed those picturesCopy !req
270. It's true, I was thinking of using old,
violent methodsCopy !req
271. but I repented in time, Holy FatherCopy !req
272. I repented before I could sin.Copy !req
273. The wonderful words that you said
to that young woman illuminated me.Copy !req
274. I implore you, forgive me.Copy !req
275. I need your forgiveness.Copy !req
276. You don't need my forgiveness.
You need my compassion.Copy !req
277. Now stop making a spectacle
of yourself and get off.Copy !req
278. Holy Father, the papal tiara
has arrived from WashingtonCopy !req
279. it's in perfect condition.Copy !req
280. Prepare the Sistine Chapel.Copy !req
281. The time has come
to address the cardinals.Copy !req
282. They're still there.Copy !req
283. I'm going to turn around,
and they'll still be there.Copy !req
284. I'm going to turn around now,
and I'll see them:Copy !req
285. mom and dadCopy !req
286. waiting for me.Copy !req
287. Knock knock!Copy !req
288. Knock knock!Copy !req
289. We're not in.Copy !req
290. Brother cardinals,
from this day forwardCopy !req
291. we're not in,
no matter who's knocking on our door.Copy !req
292. We're in, but only for God.Copy !req
293. From this day forward,
everything that was wide openCopy !req
294. is gonna be closedCopy !req
295. Evangelization?Copy !req
296. We've already done it.Copy !req
297. Ecumenicalism?Copy !req
298. Been there, done that.Copy !req
299. Tolerance?Copy !req
300. Doesn't live here anymore.Copy !req
301. It's been evicted.Copy !req
302. It vacated the house for the new tenantCopy !req
303. who has diametrically opposite
tastes in decorating.Copy !req
304. We've been reaching out
to others for years now.Copy !req
305. It's time to stop!Copy !req
306. We are not going anywhere.Copy !req
307. We are here. Because, what are we?Copy !req
308. We are cement.Copy !req
309. And cement doesn't move.
We are cement without windowsCopy !req
310. So, we don't look to the outside world.Copy !req
311. "Only the church possesses
the charisma of truth."Copy !req
312. Said St. Ignatius of Antioch.Copy !req
313. And he was right.Copy !req
314. We have no reason to look out.Copy !req
315. InsteadCopy !req
316. look over there.Copy !req
317. What do you see?Copy !req
318. That's the door.Copy !req
319. The only way in.Copy !req
320. Small and extremely uncomfortable.Copy !req
321. And anyone who wants to know us
has to find out how to get through that door.Copy !req
322. Brother cardinals,
we need to go back to being prohibited.Copy !req
323. Inaccessible and mysterious.Copy !req
324. That's the only way
we will once again become desirable.Copy !req
325. That is the only way
great loves stories are bornCopy !req
326. And I don't want any
more part-time believers.Copy !req
327. I want great love stories.Copy !req
328. I want fanatics for God.Copy !req
329. Because fanatism is love.Copy !req
330. Everything else is strictly a surrogate,
and it staysCopy !req
331. outside the church.Copy !req
332. With the attitudes of the last papacyCopy !req
333. the church won for itself
great expressions of fondnessCopy !req
334. from the masses.
It became popular.Copy !req
335. Isn't that wonderful,
you might be thinking!Copy !req
336. We received plenty of esteemCopy !req
337. and lots of friendship.Copy !req
338. I have no idea what to do with the friendship
of the whole wide world.Copy !req
339. What I want is absolute love
and total devotion to God.Copy !req
340. Could that mean
a church only for the few?Copy !req
341. That's a hypothesisCopy !req
342. and a hypothesis isn't the same as reality.Copy !req
343. But even this hypothesis
isn't so scandalous.Copy !req
344. I say: better to have a few
that are reliableCopy !req
345. than to have a great many
who are distractible and indifferent.Copy !req
346. The public squares
have been jam-packedCopy !req
347. but the hearts
have been emptied of God.Copy !req
348. You can't measure love with numbers
you can only measure it in terms of intensity.Copy !req
349. In terms of blind loyalty
to the imperative.Copy !req
350. Fix that word firmly in your souls:Copy !req
351. imperative.Copy !req
352. From this day forthCopy !req
353. That's what the Pope wants.Copy !req
354. That's what the church wants.Copy !req
355. That's what God wants.Copy !req
356. And so the liturgy will no
longer be a social engagementCopy !req
357. it will become hard work.Copy !req
358. And sin will no longer be forgiven at will.Copy !req
359. I don't expect any applause from you.Copy !req
360. There will be no expressions
of thanks in this chapel.Copy !req
361. None from me.
And none from you.Copy !req
362. Courtesy and good manners
are not the business of men of God.Copy !req
363. What I do expectCopy !req
364. is that you will do
what I have told you to do.Copy !req
365. There is nothing outside
your obedience to Pius XIII.Copy !req
366. Nothing except Hell.Copy !req
367. A Hell you may know nothing aboutCopy !req
368. but I do.Copy !req
369. Because I built it.Copy !req
370. Right behind that door:Copy !req
371. Hell.Copy !req
372. These past few daysCopy !req
373. I've had to build Hell for you,
that's why I've come to you so belatedlyCopy !req
374. I know you will obeyCopy !req
375. because you've already figured out
that this Pope isn't afraidCopy !req
376. to lose the faithful
if they're been even slightly unfaithfulCopy !req
377. and that means this Pope
does not negotiate.Copy !req
378. On anything or with anyone.Copy !req
379. And this pope can not be blackmailed!Copy !req
380. From this day forthCopy !req
381. the word "compromise"Copy !req
382. has been banished
from the vocabulary.Copy !req
383. I just deleted it.Copy !req
384. When Jesus willingly
mounted the crossCopy !req
385. he was not making compromises.Copy !req
386. Neither am I.Copy !req
387. Amen.Copy !req
388. Jump.Copy !req
389. Holy FatherCopy !req
390. I have to confess...Copy !req
391. - ... a horrible thing I did.
- Confess...Copy !req
392. your secrets to God aloneCopy !req
393. Esther.Copy !req
394. Even those that have to do with me.Copy !req
395. There's only one thing
I can do for you:Copy !req
396. Forgive you.Copy !req
397. Forgive you always.Copy !req
398. Holy FatherCopy !req
399. I feel it.Copy !req
400. Yes.Copy !req
401. I feel it.
- Yes.Copy !req
402. You're right, I feel it too.Copy !req
