Cardinal Fermoyle is loosely based on the real-life Cardinal Francis Spellman. Spellman was the Archbishop of New York. The story begins in the early years of the 20th century. The movie spans Fermoyle’s ordination in 1917 to his appointment as a Cardinal slightly before the outbreak of World War II.
