I saw the trailer on Youtube with Ralph Fiennes in it.

And intriguingly, there seem to be a major character in it who happens to be Filipino- a Filipino archbishop of Baghdad (!) made a cardinal by the pope in pectore, which is an appointment made by the Pope himself without the need of revealing his identity to no one except God.

I tried Googling who got cast for the role but stopped myself as it seems I was led to sites that would have revealed something about the plot in the book.

Cardinal Benitez is described as ‘a little below average height, with a fine, handsome face. It was hard to put an age to him. His skin was smooth, his cheekbones sharp..”

Wow. That’s actually how people describe me!
