(at around 58 mins) The Canon Rules (until recently) did not allow for someone with seizures to be a priest. The Church believed the person with epilepsy to be possessed by the devil. Therefore, the Pope would not have been publicly taking anti-seizure medicine. However, the movie establishes that the Pope kept his illness a secret from all but his closest confidants (the given reason is not "Canon Rules", but there's no reason to suppose that this was not also the case).
