Peter Straughan, the screenwriter for βConclaveβ, responds to Megyn Kellyβs accusations of the film being anti-Catholic.
Straughan emphasizes that the movie's core message revolves around the church's need to continuously find its spiritual core amidst power dynamics.
He shared his personal connection to the church, stating that the themes resonate with central Catholic ideals he grew up with.
The film includes a notable cast, such as Ralph Fiennes and has gained critical acclaim, especially after Straughan's Golden Globe win.
Kelly labeled the film as βthe most disgusting anti-Catholic film,β criticizing it for its portrayal of the clergy and specific character revelations.
