no no no you don't get it what REALLY compels me about conclave is how the entire film is a case against the concept of being sequestered. Lawrence repeatedly says 'I can't know about this I'm sequestered BECAUSE I shouldn't know any new information that might affect choosing a new pope', AKA he not just broke the letter of the law but also its SPIRIT in knowing about Adeyemi and Tremblay and the bombs outside. (LITERALLY broke the sacred seal on the late pope's apartment btw if you even care.) But the film agrees that breaking this sequestering (and into a dead man's rooms) is crucial; the cardinals had to know this information in order to ethically select a new pope.

Tedesco wants the old days and mocks the church for being so pressured by the outside world to become more liberal... is that not the idea behind being sequestered? to remove outside influence on the Catholic Church? And does the film not say that this tradition, clinging to the church's past, CANNOT be the way it moves forward into the future lest it begets its own destruction? To ignore the outside is to blind yourself in the name of justice, but true justice is never blind; she must know the context.

The bombs make the outside unavoidable. The church window - the barrier between the Cardinals and the outside world - has quite literally been shattered (by God). The cardinals have no choice but to consider how their decision on the papacy affects the world and therefore how the state of the world must affect their decision. THAT is why Lawrence smiles when he hears the birds; he understands now that all his scheming and breaking sequesterment was not as wretched as he thought but rather holy and necessary.

The Act of God was there to dissuade him from being Pope, yes, but it was also there to break sequesterment. Because the film's thesis is that it's a shit way to choose a leader.
