    Also kind of fucks with progressives, though. Lots of people would accuse them of racism when progressive christians critize a conservative black pope.

        The frontrunning black cardinal is ultra orthodox who wishes to revert Francis’ decision on gays and abortion. It is entirely possible to be hated on by whites and liberal people.
