Jonathan Pryce is the Pope

Jonathan Pryce, besides being an actor, is the Pope in real life because, as part of the elite, his ability to play roles makes him the perfect figure to control. Being an actor, his image isn’t genuine; it’s constructed and manipulated, making it even easier for the elite to use him as a puppet. They place the truth right in front of everyone, in figures like him, but in a way that no one perceives it as such. In this way, they have a controlled Pope, just as they have controlled presidents and other figures, using actors to represent a morality and authority that, in reality, only serve their hidden interests.
