Honestly? Depending on the mood among the current leadership we could get someone far more regressive causing more unrest in the world. So this is more important than you might think.
American Catholics have been having serious infighting trying to square trumpism with the Catholic Church’s social justice message, especially Francis’s stronger emphasis on it. An archbishop was excommunicated just last year for schism.
as a person raised in what was a very conservative catholic household in latin america, I feel like there is a new wave of very reactionary catholicism coming from the US that makes the Opus Dei or Legionaireslook like reasonable people.
I agree, I worked for Catholics for a few years and there are so many people just itching for a new pope to reverse ideologies so they can be more mad and racist and judgy and be justified for it. Not all, but many.
