A kangaroo, which is very important to the story & to The Young Pope, is found on a stairwell. It has been eviscerated & it is a bloody, horrible sight.
The killing isn't done on screen. But it is very upsetting.
I do love this series but would rather that they NOT have killed that lovely 'Roo

Someone IS sexually assaulted on screen - a man tries to rape an unconscious man in a car (the victim wakes up and fights the assailant off). Also, we hear about several cases of child abuse and sexual extortion of adults.

Two teenagers die (one before the events of the movie; we see her alive in something like flashbacks). I don't remember if any other kids die.

There's one in one of the later episodes, as Gutierrez is about to cross the street.

Possibly. At least there's a fatally ill woman who, by the looks of it, might well have cancer.

The obese woman in the bed doesn't have body dysmorphia. I'm not sure if someone else in the series does.

We do see him jump and fall to his death, but it's very brief and from a considerable distance - he's not much more than a dark speck - and the last little bit of the fall is hidden behind a building.

There is a lot of talk about abortion. And a group (FEMINA) who protest against the Young Pope's stance against abortion. But no on screen abortions

In one episode, Extremely graphic sexual acts with 2 men and one woman. Consensual but slightly shocking. Artful but quite intense.

Gory death of kangaroo. But he is not shown being killed. They find his body.
And man is shot but not on screen. His body is laid out in desert with a small gunshot wound
