He's the figure in the Vatican who would call a conclave – the closed gathering of senior clergy that elects a Pope - if Francis were not able to continue in the role.

At their Hollywood conclave, clad in silk ties and enamel state pins, the people’s lawyers traded inside jokes and warm embraces, even as they prepared to face an existential threat.

Lawrence does not see greatness in himself, but his determination to successfully execute this conclave — to live up to a spiritual ideal that he himself doesn’t know if he possesses — is downright heroic.

The fiery message urges solidarity among the distracted conclave of cardinals, and in the ensuing scene they walk as one toward the Sistine Chapel through the rain holding white umbrellas.

Your character has several very moving scenes one-on-one with Ralph Fiennes’ Cardinal Lawrence, but I think one of the best moments in the film is when Cardinal Benítez addresses the rest of the conclave.
