[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for the first season of “The Young Pope.”]
The finale of “The Young Pope’s” first (but hopefully not final) season was a true test of faith for some fans, leaving them with more questions than they had going into the episode.
Lenny Belardo (Jude Law), aka Pope Pius Xiii, finally showed his face to address his flock with the global message to “smile,” but after spying what looked like his elderly parents in the crowd, he collapsed. It is unclear if this event presages his imminent death or if he’ll merely be sidelined while recovering. We’re not even sure if the show will continue another season or if/how Lenny’s future would play out in it. Seeking enlightenment, IndieWire turned to the show’s creator Paolo Sorrentino, who agreed to answer our burning questions.

“Silence” isn’t in theaters until Christmas Day, but you can now stream the score to Martin Scorsese’s latest film. Kim Allen Kluge & Kathryn Kluge have hardly composed a conventional soundtrack, however, melding birdsong and other ambient noise into the kind of textural soundscape that blends into the background. Listen here.

Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver and Liam Neeson star in the religious drama as a trio of Jesuit priests who travel from Portugal to Japan to spread the good word — not that everyone is ready to hear it. Scorsese has wanted to make the film, an adaptation of Shūsaku Endō’s 1966 novel of the same name, for nearly 30 years; it was previously adapted by Masahiro Shinoda in 1971. Here’s the tracklist:

After the Internet seemingly took away Pope Francis' "cool card" once the world found out he met with Kim Davis, the Vatican is clearing something up: Just because he met with her doesn't mean he supports her views. The Vatican released a statement Friday that said the pontiff's encounter with her was part of a series of other meetings with countless other people and shouldn't be interpreted as an endorsement. "The pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis, and his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects," the Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said in a statement...

Pope Francis got a cake, cards and a tango demonstration for his 78th birthday Wednesday - and 1,760 lbs. of chicken meat for the poor. The Vatican said Wednesday that the meat, provided by a Spanish producer, would be distributed to soup kitchens. Francis also greeted eight homeless people bearing sunflowers during his Wednesday general audience, held under bright sunny skies in St. Peter's Square. As he drove around in the open-air car to greet the crowds, children handed up birthday cards they had made for him. Francis asked one: "Did you make this? It's good!" Others held up signs saying...

Archer serves up a back-to-basics madcap mission episode that's a great deal of fun. Here's James' review of The Papal Chase...
This review contains spoilers.
1.11 The Papal Chase
“Pam – get off the Pope”
Even by the ludicrous measures that Isis agents find themselves in, this is a line that not many of us ever thought we’d hear Sterling Archer utter. The Papal Chase is an episode that gets off to a slow start but once it’s up and running, the funny is firing on all cylinders with another bizarre dress-up mission.
Mallory Archer has been contacted by the Vatican as there’s believed to be a plan afoot to assassinate The Pope and Isis are chosen to stop the plot. It’s basically a good excuse to throw in a bunch of jokes about Italy and religion but when they’re led...
