Character mistake: The official in charge of announcing the voting results keeps pronouncing Cardinal Adeyemi's name in different ways; he puts the accent on the last "e" the first time, then the French way on the last "i", then mere seconds later the "e" again. Considering Adeyemi already walked in the conclave as one of the 4 favourites, and that utmost care was put in the preparation of the ceremonial (in an earlier scene, Ralph Fiennes' character makes sure he knows how to pronounce the name of one of the unimportant cardinals), it's quite the egregious mistake that he keeps repeating.

Continuity mistake: When Tremblay tells Lawrence that he delayed him being called to the Papal residence because he wanted to ascertain all the facts first, the folder in his hand suddenly opens between shots. (00:06:50)
Continuity mistake: At the table of the Italian cardinals, Lawrence calmly paraphrases Cardinal Tedesco's claim that the next Pope should be from Italy. Sergio Castellitto drinks from his glass, out of focus in the foreground. He then distances the glass from his lips, fully extending his arm. However, in the reverse shot, his glass is still close by. (00:25:10)
Bellini: Is this what we're reduced to? To vote for the least worst option?
Sister Agnes: Although we sisters are supposed to be invisible, God has nevertheless given us eyes and ears.
Benitez: The church is not the past. It is what we do next.
