ON THIS DAY: In 1870, it was determined by Catholic authorities that the pope was, in fact, infallible -- this important bit of information had apparently been overlooked for centuries. Robbie Coltrane plays an unconventional priest who accidentally becomes Pope Dave I in the 1991 comedy THE POPE MUST DIE. When he tries to use Vatican funds to help needy children, Pope Dave suddenly finds himself at odds with Vatican insiders who have other plans for the money. [today's movie at IMDb]
