About

You can stream The Two Popes (2019) on Netflix with a subscription.

Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict. Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church.

Two aging leaders face a theological reckoning that could fracture the Catholic Church forever. Their private conversations transform a rigid power struggle into a deeply human collision of faith and doubt.
