Synopsis
Actors of "Young Papa" present a television serial series of the drama genre. The protagonist of this story is Cardinal Lenny Belardo. The 47-year-old American received this post only because he was considered a compromise by experienced clergy representing church clans opposing each other.
Little Lenny was raised by the nun Mary, who took him into custody at the moment when his parents, who joined the hippie movement, expressed a desire to go to Venice, and since then their fate has been unknown. Belardo, becoming a cardinal, leaves no hope of finding them.
Mentor Lenny later becomes American Cardinal Michael Spencer - a very influential person. Spencer considered Belardo to be a traitor when he became the new head of the Catholic Church, because he himself hoped to take this post. However, His Eminence Angelo Voyello violated his plans, hoping that the young pope, whom he had put forward on this high post, would obey him implicitly. In reality, everything turned out differently: Belardo immediately, as soon as he got this position, identified himself as a proud, wayward and tough leader. Frustrated Cardinal Voyello is trying to mislead the Pope by introducing him to the wife of the Swiss guard Esther, but Belardo has only compassion for this woman who is barren.
The young Pope does not want publicity, he does not take pictures, does not advertise himself, even holds masses, his back to the people. Very quickly, those around him realize that the Pope will not allow anyone to use his position and influence in his own interests. He exposes pedophiles and charlatans and fights those who profit from the Church.
