Character mistake: After Cardinal Bergoglio has given Pope Benedict absolution and blessing after his confession, Anthony Hopkins is shown completing the sign of the cross and reaches for each shoulder and then goes up to his forehead, realises his mistake (the forehead is always touched first before the shoulders) and then scratches his nose instead.

Factual error: When Pope Benedict and Cardinal Bergoglio are sharing a pizza they start to say grace but don't make the sign of the cross. Catholics always make the sign of the cross before prayer.
