Pope is in ‘critical’ condition after suffering ‘asthmatic respiratory crisis,’ Vatican says
-
Boss calling for appraisal interview?
I don't have anything personal against Francis and wish him the very best, but the institution with many of their conservative decisions are crap. -
I thought that's what it was.
-
At this point the CC is nothing more than a narrow minded hate cult with too much funds and influence at its disposal. It needs to go yesterday.
-
Yeah rape are good thing isn't it. Those damn liberals want to stop it.
-
I like the black smoke more. As God tells each bishop how to vote, he obviously tells them all different things for a joke.
-
wait until Trump announces himself as the new Pope.
-
I mean I don't like the pope but he is better than we can expect out of the next one. There is no way the next one is even a little progressive.

-
atheists upset because Pope Francis kept the status quo like every other pope would
-
Christians upset because Pope Francis changed some things for the better, like no other pope before him
It's weird how he had no chance.

Nor should he have had a chance. He’s a relic of an unenlightened era. The scrap heap with all of them.

I appreciated his general thoughts on poverty, inequality, etc. I haven't studied them in depth so admittedly I'm mostly going off statements here and there and shallow news coverage.
The molestation/rape stuff though can't be overlooked. The problems there go much, much deeper than any one individual and is a rot in a massive and wealthy institution that holds a lot of sway over millions of people.
And there are lots of old dinosaur thoughts in the church, like the idea that all "unnatural" birth control is wrong.
I do think Francis was probably a step overall in the right direction, but it was a small step and I'm left thinking that much more radical reform is needed.
