women are the front power of everything. they are the quiet leaders of the lords house, while the men just argue. they are the morality, the sponge for information and best of all, the future of the church, as the last scene shows as well...
i believe the late pope orchestrated the conclave to ensure benitez's election. by refusing lawrence his resignation, he made sure a fair, progressive dean would expose conclave anomalies and scandals, clearing a path for benitez to carry his vision forward from beyond the grave. almost using lawrence as a pawn, but knowing it would restore his faith in the end, which it clearly did.
