After just seeing so many articles of people being sad I really just have to say the pope was an asshole. You don’t even have to do good research to see that this guy and his administration was still hiding pedophiles, hating gay people, and generally being a jerk all while pretending he was better than everyone else. The only thing he did was say he loved everyone and be a nice guy on camera which literally anyone could pretend to do. Meanwhile his administration was just more of the same shit. Just creating some counterpoint to the nonsense narrative I keep seeing.
Dude, the best Pope will still be a horrible person, I feel sorry for whoever they are, but the Catholicism is based on horrible principles; they put them behind helping the poor and all that, but the hatred of anything that isn’t 100% standard is total. That is something that is not going to change because it is a basic part of the issue, read the Bible, it is there and no member of the church is going to deny that.
If you’re a normal person, the best you can hope for is that they elect someone who doesn’t fan the flames of hatred any more than necessary and hope that their social support continues to dwindle.Anything else is impossible
