Definitely the best Pope there ever was (especially when compared to the super reactionary ones.)

An embodiment of Latin centre-left Catholicism. Not a real comrade, but progressive in issues that aren't key to the Church. Preaches love and peace which, although with its contradictions, is consistent enough to denounce the greatest atrocities out our time. A "live and let live" Pope, for better or for worse.

Given the Church's role as a reactionary cudgel over the past 200 years, and specifically during the Cold War, he was a breath of fresh air. Can't wait for some out of touch European to start telling third worlders how to pray the proper German way again.

I hope we get an even further left one so that Francis seems super tame in comparison and fox news can screech harder.

hopefully the next one is not another hitler youth freak like ratzinger

it was the leader of a reactionary institution, anti-abortion, and (not-so) homophobic...but at the same time it was a comrade (if we believe in ghouls like javier milei)

The embodiment of lip service

Catholic comrade here.

I think Pope Francis was the best pope the world has ever had.

He called every afternoon to Gaza since the genocide started. I repeat EVERY AFTERNOON.

He recognized LGBT people as worthy as heaven as anyone else. He said that antiLGBT priests were agents of evil.

He negotiated the end of Cuban embargo (during Obama). Later Trump put it againg.

He is loved by our cuban comrades.

He kissed feet of 4 warlords during South Sudan civil war to stop the war.

He denounces Israel warcrimes.

He blessed LGBT people. (But tbh still didnt recognize same sex marriage)

He interviewed and had meetings with several trans people.

His last action was to name A WOMAN as governor of the vatican state. The first woman ever.

He push towards women inclusion in high church ranks.

He write an Encyclica about GLOBAL WARMING, THE DANGER OF CONSUMERISM, CARING ABOUT OUR ECOSYSTEM AND ABOUT IRRESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT.

And that's just a fraction of what he did.

Empty balloon, whatever he ever said, had no impact on material conditions nor actions of church.

I liked this one. Not in a principled way, but generally he seemed to be one of the good ones.

If we could kill the Vatican next that'd be dope
