“Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance… If there was only certainty and no doubt [sic], there would be no mystery and therefore no need for faith. Let us pray that God will grant us a Pope that doubts.” So implores Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, compellingly played by Ralph Fiennes, at a pivotal moment in the movie, Conclave. In so doing, he contributes to a growing contemporary chorus of voices that laud uncertainty and doubt.
