That same article also points towards a [[WriterOnBoard peculiar politicization]] present within the film that goes very strongly against the complex and all-encompassing nature of Catholic doctrine, framing Benedict as the out-of-touch "elitist" conservative who agrees to get out of the way for the "hip", progressive Francis, a viewpoint that would have been [[DoubleStandard widely derided as farcical]] if the progressive was framed as an out-of-touch idiot who agreed to shut up and cede the realm of ideas to the wise conservative.

Added DiffLines:
* RedOniBlueOni: Bergoglio is the red - a colorful man predisposed to jokes and raring for clerical change - to Ratzinger/Benedict - a bookish conservative with an eye for tradition. They switch roles when Benedict admits his intentions to resign, with Benedict seeing more humor in the situation ("In 1978, we had three popes") as the film goes on while Bergoglio tries to convince him that the occasional abdication in medieval times is not grounds for disrupting the Catholic Church as much as Benedict is willing to.

It is based on the true story of the conservative traditionalist [[UsefulNotes/ThePope Pope]] Benedict XVI and his relationship with the reform-minded Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who came in second during the election that raised Benedict to the Papacy in 2005, where Benedict soon found himself overwhelmed by scandal and the demands of the office. When Bergoglio comes to Benedict to try to submit his resignation for other reasons, Benedict turns him down and through a series of conversations the two build up an understanding that would eventually lead to Benedict's nearly unprecedented decision to resign the Papacy in 2013, and allow Bergoglio to ascend as Pope Francis.
