First, he tried
to make him fall out of pride,

doubting his divine nature.

So, he challenged him.

"If you are indeed the son of God,

"order this stone to become bread".

Christ answered that man
should not live on bread alone,

showing the Devil
the vanity of his proposal.

The Devil persisted.

He said to Christ,

"I will give you glory

"and all the kingdoms,
if you bow down at my feet."

Once again, Christ refused,
citing the Scriptures.

We are men and women

made in the image of God.

We have the power

to resist temptation.

Not out of pride,

but because God
has endowed us with free will.

If we can do evil,

we can also refuse evil.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

Clovis, Charlemagne, Saint Louis

and Joan d'Arc laid the foundations

for the Church of France.

So many milestones in history.

Not to mention the separation
of Church and State in 1905.

Despite the difficulties,

growing individualism
and materialism,

we are still standing, alive.

Preparing for World Youth Day

gives meaning to our traditions.

The eldest daughter of Church
holds her place in modernity.

And you, youngsters,
are in the front row.

- Here.
- Thanks.

Have a nice day.

Hello.

For Sandrine.

I'm sorry.

Here.

Thank you.

What was your name?

Alright?

- Am I late?
- Not at all.

You've grown up!

Hello, Charles.

- OK, sister?
- Yes, how are you?

- Hello, Charles.
- Excellency.

- How are you?
- She's here.

I was waiting for you, Mom.

I have a problem, nothing serious.
I'd like to show you something.

Surprise!

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear mother

Happy birthday to you

Thank you for your financial help.

Financing WYD is no easy task.

Charles knows how hard

it can be.

The crisis affects him, too.

I better go
or they'll end up fighting.

I have a meeting
at the bishop's office.

I don't renew temps.

I want some room for maneuver.

How many temps?

At least 200.

Is the situation that bad?

It'll be fine by December.

If that happens, why fire people?

Charles, there are no miracles
in pharmacy.

No one will get fired.

I won't be renewing temp contracts.

The weakest always pay
for the strongest.

The Pope has commented on this.

- Guy!
- Charles...

Mom! He has a driver
and he fires people!

Try to understand.

Going to Mass is not enough.
God doesn't approve.

You're not God, Charles.

Look who's here.

Federico!

My obnoxious Franciscan.

- What happened to you?
- It's a long story.

- I see you're doing better.
- Yes.

Your doctor is good.

Federico arrived this morning.
He's got a bad wound.

- Bye, Madeleine.
- Goodbye.

How long are you staying?

Eight months.

No, rest assured.

I'm leaving next week.

I'm exhausted, Madeleine.

I need to rest.

Thanks for everything.

- I love him.
- I hate him.

He should've called.

It seems
he had to bring forward his trip.

You lied to your son.
God doesn't like that.

- Bye, Mom.
- Goodbye, honey.

See you soon, brother.

Take care of yourself.

Come on, Mom.

Tell me.

Our doctor says
his injury wasn't an accident.

- He was probably shot.
- Oh, God!

- Careful, son. That's blasphemy.
- I'm sorry.

I hate

playing this role.

You have long served the Church,
but the bishop is unwavering.

It's over.
The Holy Father has set the limit.

Breaking your vows
cannot be tolerated.

Please, forgive me.

I don't have that power.

Pray, Étienne, and repent.

Two believers testified against you.

We don't want a new scandal.

You're going to retire.

An institution house
will accommodate you.

Come on, make your arrangements.

Who did this?

Some bastard.

It arrived in the bishopric
with an anonymous letter.

You've lived with her
for 10 years?

I knew it was a sin, Charles.

But it's a love story.

You can't fight it.

The Church has rules!

When we become priests,
we must respect them.

It's non-negotiable.

Celibacy is part of the contract,
part of the mystery of faith.

No one can deviate from it.

I want to confess, Charles.

"Who carries the word of God?

"Communities and individuals.

"Since they can't bear
the load of this word,

"they designate another to carry it.

"And who does Christ appoint
to carry that word?"

My friend the Bishop of Havana
sent me this.

I quit smoking.

It's caviar, Charles.
A luxurious sin.

What would the Church councillors say
if they saw us smoking this?

OK, fine.

How is your friend Federico doing?

He's doing very well.

I doubt it.

First, he's a Franciscan,

and second, he's a leftist.
I don't like either.

Have you been to his lectures?

Not yet.

But I've heard nice things.
My mom loves him.

I know.

Do you know the priest joke?

There are three
great mysteries in the clergy:

one, the number
of women's congregations,

two, the real wealth
of a mendicant order,

like that of the Franciscans,

and three, the number
of ulterior motives of a Jesuit.

Tell me about the Étienne case.

It's hard for him, Father.

But he repents nonetheless.

We went to seminary together.

But we decided to be implacable.

I know.

He was very upset.

A long time ago,
when a scandal broke out,

priests were sent to the colonies.

But the Holy Father is intransigent,
and he is right.

- Is my speech finished?
- Almost.

What about my note on WYD?

One second.

Thank you. You can...

Stupid habit.

In Brazil, the large properties,
called latifundia,

date from the colonial days.

Nothing has changed.

Presently, 1% of landowners

own 54% of the farmland.

Huge estates you can only
visit completely by plane.

In contrast,

there are
12 million agricultural workers

working for meager wages.

Your bishop has probably warned you.

He's worried.

He's a good man,

but he won't support
the landless movement.

He can ban your lectures.

Yes. No reason to complain.

Is your schedule busy?

I'm going to Arras, Tourcoing,
Boulogne, and Paris for 8 days.

I'll stop by before I leave.

Do you have a financial goal
for your tour?

50,000 euros.

What're you gonna do with it?

You're being mysterious.

You don't trust me?

I'm gonna buy guns.

Guns?

Three assaults in the last months.

Four dead and seven wounded,
including your servant.

We can't keep
turning the other cheek.

Big landlords send killers.
We will defend ourselves.

Guns... Are you sure
it's your job to do that?

If we give up on the poor farmers,

the Church will be rejected.

Yes, Mom.

How are you?

I'm with Federico.

OK, I'll drop by.

I love you.

The Franciscan
says he loves you too.

Hello, Sister.

Thank you.

LIBRARY OF JERUSALEM

Hello, Sister.

- Claire, isn't it?
- Yes.

Can you help me?

My mother donated
a big pack of books for the tombola,

but she left a 17th century Bible
inside of it by mistake.

- Everything's in the back.
- Great.

It means a lot to her, so...

No, it's not that one.

Yes. This is it.

I'm sorry.

Charles, tell us what decision
the bishop made

regarding the organization of WYD.

We have to finance the plane,

or we'll leave people in the field.

Charles?

What?

No.

I'm sorry, I...

I'm in charge of the negotiations
with the charter companies, and...

Excuse me.

I'll call an ambulance.

No, no ambulance, please.

No ambulance.

I'm gonna tell you the truth.

The bishop offered me a cigar.

Yes.

I quit smoking,
and it messed me up.

I'm gonna take a shower,
and tomorrow I'll be fine.

Rich family,
right arm of the bishop, cigar...

It wouldn't happen in my parish.

You're being unfair.

Charles is talented, fraternal,
attentive.

He's a prince of the Church.

There's a flood in the church,

so the firemen arrive
and ask the abbot to get out.

He refuses,
saying God will provide.

The water rises.

The firemen ask the abbot
to get in the lifeboat.

He refuses again,
saying God will provide.

Eventually, the abbot
has to hold on to the bell tower.

The firemen come back and say,
"Please, you're going to drown!

"This is the third time we come".

He says, "No. God will provide".

He drowns.

He gets up there, and tells God,

"I don't understand.
I was a fervent servant,

"and you didn't save me".

And so God says, "What?
I sent you the rescue squad!"

I must absolutely see you tonight.
Charles

Thank you.

Come in.

God made us
with our strengths and weaknesses.

Every day he puts us to the test.
No one is immune from error.

There'll be more joy in Heaven
for one sinner who repents,

than for the righteous
who persevere.

It's a form of repentance.

The morning-after pill.

The Church is against it.

- God doesn't approve.
- I know.

But it's not an abortion.

In extreme cases, it's...

Father, I have sinned.

I'm in love with a young woman.

Have you challenged your chastity?

Let me ask again.

Did you break your vow of celibacy?

Kind of, Father.

"Kind of" doesn't exist.

Have you sinned in deed,
yes or no?

- My schedule?
- It's in there, Father.

Your passport and boarding pass.

In the file,
I put the speech for the curia

and a report
on the preparations for WYD.

I don't know
what I'd do without you.

You do a good job.

You've been looking tired, Charles,
since you started smoking cigars.

God will forgive us even lung cancer.

Thank you, Tom.

You should take a few days off.

Later, Father. After WYD.

We need to find money.
Planes cost a fortune.

Passengers to Rome,
please report to the boarding area.

You have been appointed
by the WYD Organizing Committee

as one of its spokespersons.

Coming from a very pious family,

you are a Jesuit,
you work with Bishop Lombard,

and you just published
a remarkable book,

Reflections
on the Church of France.

You could say you're one
of the Church's men of tomorrow.

That's flattering,
but give it a rest.

I am only a servant of God.

Tell us about how WYD
is being prepared.

So, at a regional level,

the teams have gathered
3,000 participants,

i.e. 10 charters.

And it's not over.

But we don't have money,
and we're looking for solutions.

Our young people are great.

They've come together
to raise money.

Are you ready

to get involved
in Father Charles' project?

They'd be welcome.

Great.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

- Keep it up.
- Goodbye.

Bye, thank you.

I listened to you on the radio.
It was very good. Claire.

Thank you.

I want to see you.
In two days? Charles

I am willing to see you,
just not here. Claire.

I'm gonna miss you.

I heard you on the radio.

You don't need anyone.

Just work. That's all.

I didn't ask for it.

The organizing committee
appointed me.

I'm not sure we should give in
to the media circus.

On the radio,
you spoke to thousands of people

and spread the word of God.

The Church can't snub the media.

In my camp,
we set up a small radio station.

My bishop's glad you're leaving.

"Leftism is a dreadful perversion
of the gospel, Charles".

You might think the same way
in a few years.

If I listened to myself,

I'd be like you.

- What's the matter?
- I'm doing poorly.

And I'm doing great.

Elaborate.

I don't want to go into details.

Don't tell me you're going
through something wonderful,

but not exactly authorized?

I knew you'd understand.

We live with thousands of farmers.

Accidents happen.

Sometimes, God puts me to the test.

But you...

You can't do things that jeopardize
your priestly integrity.

You have too many responsibilities.

Chastity is hard,
but you have to hold on.

What are you gonna do?

Honestly?

I have no idea.

When I have a problem,

I isolate myself and fast.

And God speaks to me.

"Keep my soul in peace,
near you, my God.

"My Lord...

"I don't have a proud heart
nor an ambitious eye.

"I do not pursue great plans
or wonders that go beyond me.

"No.

"But I hold my soul even and silent.

"My soul is in me like a child,

"a small child against his mother.

"Wait for the Lord, Israel,

"now and forever".

He's convincing, educational.

Charles' way of doing things
revitalize the Church.

He's a great mentor.

But he has a lot on his shoulders.

So much the better.
He gets lumbered with hassle.

- Here.
- Thank you.

He must face adversity.
Faith is his armor.

Dear Lord, bless this meal.
Amen.

A great career
is impossible otherwise.

What I like about you is,
you don't hide his ambitions for him.

He's the best of his generation,
don't you think?

Don't force the pace.

- The competition is fierce.
- Yes.

But with your help and that
of the Lord, he will prevail.

I hope to see you again
on my next trip.

Just don't get yourself killed.

You don't need that
to become a saint. Wait.

For your charities.

Thank you.

What would you like to do?

Movies.

- I have to put on my glasses.
- No, don't do that!

Yes, a real Tour de France runner.

Wonderful.

This new molecule
has undeniable results

in prostate cancer.

Demand is strong.

Investment funds are willing
to partner with us.

This is the fruit of 5 years of work.

And keep in mind
- even you, Charles -

that the production line
is 100% automatic.

The technicians will just check
that there are no incidents.

Robotics is cutting jobs.

That's how it is.

Thank you.

Impressive.

And very reassuring.

If I get prostate cancer,
I'll try your medicine.

Your dear son never fails
to speak nonsense.

I don't have one dear son,

I have two sons that I love.

Let's have a drink.

Say, Mom,
when's Clémence coming back?

In two more weeks, probably.

I don't want her
to give birth on a plane.

How is she doing?

That's something I'd like to know.

Me too.

I think about you, too.

I miss you.

The Holy Father elevated him
to the rank of cardinal.

We had left him as bishop,

he was our Bishop Lombard,

and now he's Cardinal Lombard.

From now on,
he will be wearing the ribbon,

the red square hat
and the blue sapphire ring.

We will call him Eminence.

Working like others
and with others by his side,

I am aware of his generosity
in the service of God,

the love that he gives
to all his collaborators

and the joy
he instills in the faithful.

The Church of France has a new
cardinal who honors our diocese.

Did you keep on smoking
while I was out?

Moderately.

Right reverend lord Cardinal
of the Holy Church.

What's wrong with you?
"Eminence" will do.

But you're a cardinal now!

I won't change
and you should do the same.

Thank you for what you did.

The WYD director told me
you did a brilliant job on the radio.

Now come drink to my election.

It seems the mobilization is good.

We never had this many sign-ups.

Our kids are wonderful.

The Holy Father?

I met him briefly.

I'll meet him again at the next trip.

He is calm and nice,
and he works really hard.

This will be of no use, but....

my son is not doing that well.

Exactly my thoughts.

Aren't there are more serious things
to worry about?

Please, I need a break.

Only 300 m to go.

One last effort and we'll stop.

- Where?
- Over there.

Alright!

- Enjoy...
- Your meal!

- Thank you...
- You too!

Alright, let's eat!

We did at least 12 or 13 kilometers.

Four, Father.

- Four?
- Yes.

Four for you, ten for me.

Julien, Maryse,
tell me where you're at.

In Lille, 107,000.

We're gonna need
buses to the airport,

and the money's hard to find.

That's true.

And you?

I got 60,000 from companies.

It's not much.

I think we need
to take the initiative.

Good idea.

In Roubaix?

We're reaching our goal.
People are rallying.

You should do a few more
radio programs, Father.

And TV shows.

After your last one,
we enrolled 300 more kids.

France 3 has invited me.

We'll see.

How do we go home?

- Running, Father.
- No!

You're gonna kill me.

We serve the Lord.

Alright, double time!

The first to pass me, wins.

You've been novices for a year,

and your behavior is exemplary.

In 3 months, if you want

and I agree,

you will take the veil
of the sisters of Mary.

You have a job outside
and that's good,

because you are in society
and you exercise your faith in it.

But I repeat,

entering the Church at your age
and in our order

is a very tough decision.

Charles,
I really need your editorial.

Yes.

OK, I got it.
Thanks, Emmanuel.

The event for Catholics
and young French people

is the preparation
of World Youth Day.

Pope Francis will preside

over the meeting
of millions of young people.

Youth is the strength of the Church.

Ombline, where're you at?

Each group chooses its own watchword.

We have decided
to focus our banners on equal pay

and the Pope's welcome, of course.

What about you?

We have a banner
on the fight against racism

and the dialogue between religions.

We thought we'd do a concert
to donate the profits

so we can have money.

A concert of what?

A rock concert.

Let's go for a walk.

- It's about Charles.
- Go on.

I told my friends in the Vatican
about him.

Some bishops know him.

He has his fair share of
friends and enemies.

That's a good sign.

Also, I think
that within a year or two,

he may be required
to work at the curia.

If he passes the exam,

I assure you that he could become
the youngest bishop in France.

What do I have to do?

Nothing. Do not interfere.

WYD promises to be a success.

He is one of the four
organizers and spokespersons.

He'll meet the Pope.

And, who knows, it might be
the beginning of a story.

You see, things are not simple.

Many believers have rallied
against same-sex marriage,

and new generations
are coming to consciousness.

The young people who will take part

in WYD, are backing the concepts

of love, fidelity,
refusal of contraception,

observance of celibacy.

It'll be hard to stand up
against this generation.

In Rome,

the conservative trend
is still very active.

If we do not deal with dogmas,

we will hand our faithful
to all kinds of sects.

I like to hear you
talk like that, Eminence.

Claire?

- Hello?
- Yes.

- How are you?
- OK.

- Were you busy?
- No, I fell asleep.

- What're you doing?
- Writing a speech.

I want to see you.

When?

It was fantastic.

I like it seeing you like that.

I think of you, too.

Sleep tight.

Is he cute?

Who do you mean?

The one who sleeps tight.

Your love.

You smoke now?

To each their own.

So?

I bet he's handsome.

- Not one word.
- No.

Who do you think I am?

Where's John?

He stayed in New York.

- He'll be back for the delivery?
- No.

He won't come back.

Does he have a new girlfriend?

I won't say any more.

- I said something stupid.
- I will have to agree.

I can't take it.

I can't take it, Mom.

It's OK, honey.

In these cases,
men are of little use.

Assuming that, in general,
they serve some purpose.

- Queen mother's in good shape.
- Yes.

So Clémence and John broke up?

Looks like it.

- What do you think?
- I don't know.

I've never been in that situation.

Right, see you later.

How's family?

Pretty good.

Are you and Claire getting along?

Yes.

And no.

When she's here, it's perfect...

but she's often away.

She works quite a lot, doesn't she?

She doesn't just work.

She goes out, too.

Sister Joséphine,

would you please get us
some fresh bread?

Of course, Mother.

- Coffee?
- Yes, please.

Sit down.

Where does she go?

With whom?

I don't know.

A relative?

Maybe.

Probably.

Would you tell me
if there was a problem?

We have nothing to hide.

I don't know, Mother.

Mrs. de Waquin, I would like
to see you regarding a photo...

My church has no style,
but it has a soul.

The faithful are numerous.

Half the youngsters
are unemployed.

Vulnerability and poverty
is the rule.

In fact, raising money for WYD
hasn't been easy.

A sponsor would be welcome.

All the photos have been deleted.

20,000.

There's work to be done.

I really admire your son.

He's talented.

And I'm even a bit jealous of him.

There's room for everyone.
I'm not worried about you.

And Charles likes you a lot.

He's lucky
to have a mother like you.

I want you to promise me you'll never
say anything against him.

You have my word.

Another 20,000.

My contribution to the parish tithes.

In short, this isn't bribery
by any means.

How could you think that of me?

Tom, I need your help.

- Our Charles is doing stupid things.
- I understand, madam.

Clémence will give birth
next week.

She'll stay with us,
and then she'll live here.

We'll have to find a new place.

I have no idea.

But...

Hiding...

I know.

After WYD...

Nothing, Charles.

I ask for nothing.

You smoke too much.
You're a wreck.

That's what the Cardinal says.

I have a meeting.

Charles.

Charles, please.

Charles!

Charles.

Tom!

Thank you.

- What a surprise.
- Indeed.

Hurry, or the baby will be born
before we get there.

Boy or girl?

Doesn't matter.

Clémence and I would like a girl.

Her husband?

He won't come.
They're getting a divorce.

That was fast.

Clemence doesn't want
to hear about him anymore.

- He used to beat her.
- What?

He beat her?

He looked so nice.

A Protestant.

There are many houses
in the House of the Lord.

It happens even in our family.

Everything happens in this family.

You're leaving tomorrow.

I called Sophie.
The house is ready.

- But, Mom...
- No.

You're starting to piss me off.
You go and have some rest.

The Cardinal agrees with me.

But, Mom...

I won't discuss it. It's final.

OK, I'll go.

- Tom will drive you to the station.
- No, thanks.

Tom will drive you to the station.

You're in a bad mood.

God also grants me that right.

Hello?

Claire?

How are you?

Terrific.

On my bed, at night,

I searched for the one
my heart loves.

You stole my heart
with one of your looks.

I was asleep, but my heart was awake.

I knocked on your door.

"Let me in, sister,

"friend, dove of mine.

"Put me like a seal on your heart,

"for love is as strong as death,

"and its fierceness is fire,

"a flame of the Everlasting".

I've never been
with anyone but you.

Wait... Sorry.

It's the Cardinal.

Yes, Father.

It's not exactly sunny.

No, I haven't tried to swim.

No, I'm alone.

OK, I'll be at home.

Very well, Father.

Thank you, bye.

Concretely, Father, where are you at

with WYD?

From Russia, Turkey, London, millions
of young people are expected.

This, of course,
requires substantial logistics

to finance tickets, acommodation
and food for WYD participants.

In terms of mobilization,
has France done a good job?

The Pope will be proud.

There's been a rise
in the number of youth

who are joining WYD.

What would you tell
those thousands of young people

about contraception, marriage...

The Church
doesn't usually lower itself

to win over hearts and minds.

Youth don't need demagoguery.

They are aware of the importance
of fidelity in marriage

to build a family in faith.

You're not exactly

modern for a young Jesuit.

The message of Christ
is a very modern message.

He's 2,000, after all.

Modernity, madam,

is the ability to make
traditions and dogmas live.

Jesuits are loyal soldiers
of the Church.

I get it, it wasn't good.

I couldn't praise
the unbreakable bonds of marriage.

Yeah, me too.

Hello. One cognac, please.

Thank you.

What? You want my picture?

Wasn't it you on TV?

Yes.

What the hell do you care?

Thank you.

What would I be without you
Who came to meet me?

What would I be without you
But a sleeping heart?

An hour that stopped
At the dial of the watch?

What would I be without you,
But a stuttering?

You who made the life of children
spring forth in us

on the day of our baptism.

Blessed be You, Lord!

You who spread your love
in our hearts

to make us free and let us taste
the peace of your Kingdom.

Blessed be you, Lord!

Now bless this water

where he will be reborn

to live in eternal life

through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

The Church of God
welcomes you with great joy.

In His name,
I mark you with the cross,

the sign of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Amen.

Would you like some?

Would you like
some Champagne? Yes?

There you go.

- Champagne?
- No, thank you, Clémence.

Mom? Champagne?

No, I'm fine.

Cognac?

Thank you, my dear Guy.

Are you OK?

- What about you?
- I'm good.

You've made a decision?

- Is it final?
- Yes.

- You know I'm here for you.
- Yes.

What about you?
Did you get some rest?

The cold did me good.
I walked...

I've been trying
to see you two for a month.

It's about the factory.

Clémence agreed to it.

I had no choice.

Well?

Do what you think is right.

Decisions in this family
are unanimously taken.

We're losing money.
Generic drugs don't pay.

I checked the figures.
The group's fine.

- I can't condone the layoffs.
- No one's being laid off.

Dad would've never done that.

We can't start acting
like everyone else.

But do as you please.

He's right.

Well?

As usual.
"No, but do as you please".

He's a pain.

And you're a jerk!

If Charles refuses, we don't do it.

Take care of the guests.

Mom!

The day Charles decides
to jump out the window, we all will.

Stop it, Guy. You're so dramatic.

How are you, Father Étienne?

Nothing to say,

I'm bored to death.

Does your family visit you?

I have an older sister.

I read,

I pray.

I watch stupid series on TV.

By the way, I saw you.

You speak quite clearly.

Thank you.

Does the Cardinal send you?

No, I'm here on my own free will.

I'd like to ask you a question.

Go ahead.

You don't have to answer.

When you were a priest,

in your mind,

how did you reconcile
your love story and your vows?

Like you reconcile
the worst and the best.

It was like two parallels.

Two different, separate worlds.

There was the world of God.

I'd do my job,
and I think I did it right.

The parishioners liked me.

And then, the other world.

The world of love and desire.

A dreadful force I couldn't resist.

Will that do?

It's enlightening.

Let's walk.

Yes.

I heard the baptism of little Benoît
was beautiful.

New arrivals in the Church
are a unique moment.

Like a handover.

Do you think it's fair
that we can't have children?

Here we are about thirty priests,

all retired, waiting for death.

Some think that celibacy
runs contrary to Gospel.

For the first time in centuries,
we have a Jesuit pope,

a Jesuit cardinal,

a future Jesuit bishop.

You truly are
the soldiers of the Church.

Disciplined...

Too disciplined.

But you I like you.

Thanks for the chocolates.

Thank you.

Everything I loved,

everything I built

is falling apart.

Some water?

This can only do you good.

What he did was stupid,

but it's not yet dramatic.

First, no one knows,

second, it has to stop,

and third, it's already happened.

You can't defend the indefensible.

The vow of chastity
cannot be disputed.

Whoever practices sin

is a slave of sin.

I appreciate you
reminding me of the rule.

"Where sin abounds,
grace abounds even more".

Saint Paul.

Your investing in Charles

has turned into
a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Charles this, Charles that.

You decided he'd be a pope
as soon as he was born.

And you kind of forgot
that he was a man.

A young man full of energy,

full of blood.

I love him like he's my own son.

He shouldn't have done that.

People always expect the best
of us Jesuits,

but man is weak.

And that girl is charming.

You can't justify...

I'm trying to understand

and find a solution.

Here's what we're gonna do.

First, Madeleine, you stay out of it.

Not one word to Charles.
I'll handle this.

Second, take care of the girl.

But beware of acting
like an abusive mother.

Be tactful.

It's probably a true love story.

All in all, Jacques,
you think I'm a fool.

If I did, people would know,
and I wouldn't see you at 10 pm.

We gotta get him out of this mess.

Eminence! I didn't expect you.

Of course. I didn't tell anyone.

Sit down.

Rome needs a report on the refugees.

I remember you have a leftist
and Franciscan friend - Federico.

- He's in Brazil.
- Don't interrupt me.

It's a perfect opportunity
for you to write a report for Rome.

Your friend is not in Brazil.

He's in a camp near the coast.

You're going to see him

and call him to order.

Of course, Father.

- As soon as I finish...
- No, right now.

Wait, I've been working 24/7 on WYD.

24/7? I highly doubt it.

O'Neil will stand in.

He's tough. He'll do the job.

He has the right
to be in the spotlight, too.

Let me finish...

This isn't a debate, it's an order!

Should I remind you
of your vow of obedience?

Listen to me, Charles.

I want a serious report,

not some whiny stuff.

An observation.

The Cardinal knows.

He told you?

He implied it.

He's sending me away.

He's right.

He's right, Charles.

It'll be an opportunity to think.

Think about what?

I love you.

I love you too.

People are generally grouped
by affinity, sex, age

and nationality.

And gradually,
life gets organized.

The restaurant,

run by two young Afghans.

That's where we store clothes,
blankets and all that stuff.

All right? Did you settle in?

I'll see you later.

These are meeting spaces.

We try to get people together

around activities.

Back there are the women
and children areas.

They're apart.

We did it intentionally
for privacy reasons.

And that's the church.

Thank you.

See you later.

Why are you here, Federico?

You said you were going to Brazil!

Am I allowed to speak?

A friend of mine
asked me to come over.

When I saw this,
I decided to stay.

You could've called.

To cause you trouble.
You would've told your Cardinal.

You think he doesn't know?

- Your behavior...
- What with it?

Feeling better?

Charles.

There are many children
and teens alone.

The parents?

Dead or in their home country.

They send their children
so they can go to England.

They have family there.

Look...

The official figures
are not accurate.

There's twice as much or more.

They have nothing,
not even a decent shower.

It's a disaster.

The locals have been amazing.

They help and bring food.

Many of them are Catholics.
We must support them.

You're right. It is a disaster.

But the Church
can only do so much.

I'm not the Church, I'm Federico.

You're a pain!

You want to be a saint?

Federico.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.

I'm gonna stay.

OK.

Olivier, can you bring
a mattress for tonight?

No problem.

Thanks.

You don't get it.

I want to stay
as long as it takes.

Then, I'll make the report.

Very well.

Don't be afraid.

This is not a failure.

What you have learned
will be useful.

And you'll serve God in society.

We'll never forget you.

This happens every night.

Do any of them manage to pass?

Of course.

Despite the police,
some make it to England.

Nothing can stop the poor.

Police!

There are casualties often.

And smugglers
who make money out of poverty.

The authorities
will shut down the camp.

It'll resurge somewhere else.

You have reached Claire.
Please, leave a message. Thank you.

Hi, Claire, it's Charles.

Where do I start?

I joined Federico in a refugee camp.

It's quite tough.

But it makes you think.

I've been thinking about you.

All the time.

I would've loved
to hear your voice.

I love you.

- Need help?
- Yes.

- Enjoy.
- Thank you.

The Cardinal would love to see you
with a leftist Franciscan.

I don't answer to provocation.

This is Jules de Waquin,
the founder.

He was a pharmacist who made drugs
with little success.

His son, Hervé.

He founded
the Saint Francis of Assisi hospital.

Our great-grandfather, François.

He settled in Roubaix

and opened the first modern lab
that manufactured medicines.

François developed the company,

financed Catholic schools

and then moved to Lille.

And this is Edmond,
the father of Marc, my husband.

He was one of the first Resistants
in the region.

He was deported, then elected
congressman after the Liberation.

That's when he and my husband Marc

set up the laboratories
that carry our name.

I am neither a bigot

nor a possessive mother
who thinks about her son all day,

although I do think about him.

Have a seat.

I have three children,
but Charles is special.

When he told me
he wanted to answer God's call,

I did all I could to deter him.

But the truth is apparent:
he has faith and he is talented.

Very talented.
Do you understand?

Of course, madam,
and I agree with you.

I met a young lady
who was in love with a priest.

A sincere love.

They lived together in total secrecy,

and one day, she got pregnant.

Life became unbearable for them.

The priest lost his mind
and committed suicide.

If you can't separate,

be aware that, in a few years,
Charles will hate you

for forcing him into this situation.

Madam, with Charles,
I discovered love.

I don't love a priest, I love a man.
A wonderful man.

I have quit the Church.
I won't be a nun.

I respect your decision,

but I have to protect my son.

Your love must be strong enough
to keep you away.

Leave town, leave the region.

I can help you.

We'll see.

Claire, wait.

You think you can buy everybody?

I really am a fool.

I want to confess.

No, no.

I need to, Federico.

I know what you're gonna tell me.
There's no answer.

The decision is up to you.

Is she a good person?

She's a novice.

Oh, shit! That's too much.

Here.

There will be more joy in heaven
for one sinner who repents

than for 99 righteous
who persevere.

The Gospel
doesn't have all answers.

I know you will find the way.

You'll be OK.

Goodnight.

- Have a good rest.
- You too.

"Charles, I'm leaving the convent.

"I won't take the veil.

"Keeping up would be madness.

"You have to stay in the Church.

"You must pursue your mission
and live your faith.

"I'm going back to school.

"Keep your head, even if it's hard.

"Walk to your destiny".

Charles.

Claire.

What are you doing?

It was a mistake.

Look at me, Claire.

Look at me.

I want to marry you.

I want to have kids,
I want to live with you.

I can't, Charles.

- I don't want to.
- You do.

My career is not an aim in itself.

I love you.

I love you too.

But I'm strong enough to break up.

I'm ready to leave if I have to.

No, I refuse.

- Calm down.
- I refuse!

Calm down.

You must keep going.

You don't get divorced from God.

His love will guide you.

I'll write to you.

I'm going to be strong
for both of us.

- You're not hungry?
- It's rabbit, Eminence.

I forgot you hated rabbit.

- Anything else?
- No, thanks.

Your report is interesting.

But it seems to be missing
a few paragraphs.

Not one criticism.

Not one negative remark.

Federico is doing an amazing job.

I'd never seen such strong bonds.

They live the message of Christ.

Si je te comprends bien,
So, we should all go live there.

The fact that refugees in France
are so ill-treated

speaks volumes
about the times.

Perhaps.

- But France faces so many problems.
- So many unused resources.

Your friend Federico
has made you dizzy.

Sister Cécile.

Your report
will be used at the conference.

Let's have a toast.

To your return...

and your departure.

Father...

You don't want me back?

The Secretariat of the Holy Father
sent me a message.

He wants a Frenchman on his WYD team

The other cardinals and I
agreed on a name:

Charles de Waquin.

Praise be to the Lord.

But, Eminence,
I will never live up to it.

Please, don't be prissy.

You will learn.

People will see you,
get to know you.

In 4 years, if you do
what you have to do,

God willing,

you'll become bishop.

I bet my life on it.

Have a drink.

To tell you the truth,

I'm gonna miss you.
No one can match you.

May God help me.

I will pray for you.

I don't have any concerns.

You're a prince of the Church.

Four years later,
Charles became bishop.

There is a pleasure in forgiveness
that cannot be found in revenge.

God advises us to be gentle
and peaceful with all,

to be benevolent towards all

and to wish them well.

He is the good,

He is the generous.

He gives everything and more
to the one who purified his being

to the point of seeing the good,

the one who forgives.

Then, everyone will enjoy this good.

- The body of Christ.
- Amen.

The body of Christ.

- The body of Christ.
- Amen.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.
