"I didn't see, I don't see any Great Pope or Great Monarch before an extremely great tribulation, horrifying, terrible and general for all Christendom. But before that time, twice there will be a short lived peace; two shaky, servile, doubtful popes" Mélanie
First Look: Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce in ‘The Two Popes’
The first image of Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce in The Two Popes has been released, and it’s definitely intriguing.
The upcoming movie is “inspired by” real events, distributor Netflix has said. Hopkins stars as Pope Benedict and Pryce co-stars as Cardinal Bergoglio, a man he doesn’t exactly see eye-to-eye with. In the first look photo, the two Roman Catholic leaders are captured in what looks like a conspiratorial moment.
Netflix’s official plot synopsis teases: “Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio (Pryce) requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict (Hopkins). 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.
“Behind Vatican walls, a struggle commences between both tradition and progress, guilt and forgiveness, as these two very different men confront their pasts in order to find common ground and forge a future for a billion followers around the world.”
Alongside its two leads, the movie has behind-the-camera pedigree, too. The screenplay is written by three-time Academy Award nominee Anthony McCarten (Darkest Hour, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Theory of Everything), and Fernando Meirelles (The Constant Gardener, City of God) directs.
The Two Popes‘ release date hasn’t been announced yet, but Netflix shared the first look image ahead of its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in early September, so hopefully it won’t be too long. Source

REMEMBER - THE 35+ YEARS WORTH OF CHASTISEMENTS DO NOT START UNTIL THE TWO POPES ARE DEAD......
“The great chastisement will come, because men will not be converted; yet it is only their conversion that can hinder these scourges. God will begin to strike men by inflicting lighter punishments in order to open their eyes; then He will stop, or may repeat His former warnings to give place for repentance. But sinners will not avail themselves of these opportunities; He will, in consequence, send more severe castigations, anxious to move sinners to repentance, but all in vain. Finally, the obduracy of sinners shall draw upon their heads the greatest and most terrible calamities. Mélanie
“We are all guilty! Penance is not done, and sin increases daily. Those who should come forward to do good are retained by fear. Evil is great. A moderate punishment serves only to irritate the spirits, because they view all things with human eyes. God could work a miracle to convert and change the aspect of the earth without chastisement. God will work a miracle; it will be a stroke of His mercy; but after the wicked shall have inebriated themselves with blood, the scourge shall arrive Mélanie
“What countries shall be preserved from such calamities? Where shall we go for refuge? I, in my turn, shall ask, What is the country that observes the commandments of God? What country is not influenced by human fear where the interest of the Church and the glory of God are at stake? (Ah, indeed! What country, what nation upon earth?) In behalf of my Superior and myself, I have often asked myself where we could go for refuge, had we the means for the journey and for our subsistence, on condition that no person were to know it? But I renounce these useless thoughts. We are very guilty! In consequence of this, it is necessary that a very great and terrible scourge should come to revive our faith, and to restore to us our very reason, which we have almost entirely lost. Mélanie
