An interesting article, if only because First Things used to never go this route: https://www.firstthings.com/article/2017/03/waiting-for-a-young-pope

The line which, above all, makes me want to watch the show is this, quoted from the above article: 

 

Great article. Yes, as I was watching this show, I must admit I was wishing that the Church would actually go in the direction this show is taking it (although not so extreme). lol

I haven't watched it, but this show is definitely a launching point for conversation. I've had a couple of my colleagues ask me what I think - possibly because I'm the only practising Catholic they know.

I love this show and encourage everyone over age 18 to watch it. May be a bit too provocative for younger audiences.

Haven't seen it but I'm watching a miniseries on Netflix called Call Me Francis, about Pope Francis and Argentina in the 70s dictatorship. It's pretty good. I don't know how close it sticks to his life. In the beginning he apparently has an affair, but his vocation as a Jesuit wins out.
