I'm actually sad about this one. He was by far the best pope of my lifetime.

I remember him as one of those important men who failed to condemn Russian aggression. Maybe the next one will have a better moral compass.

He condemned the Russian aggression on multiple occasions.

I am surpringly annoyed about Americans somehow finding a way to make this about themselves.
In reality I'm much more worried about the likely counterreformist pushback that is likely about to happen. We're about to find out if a remarkably powerful organization's leader was able to seed enough support to secure a politically aligned successor, and if the answer is "no" a bunch of organizations are about to get even more ruthlessly conservative at a time when a new strain of fascism is seeking moral support. The Catholic Church has been here before. It didn't go well.

It sure feels like the tides are turning conservative everywhere, but apparently a Filipino progressive is a favorite to be next

Yes, but if the next one is a little better, and the next one, and the next one...
The church evolves very slowly.

Why is this pinned? This person was the CEO of a cult persuading people ghosts are real and manipulating them to give the cult money. Thanks god he's dead.

Don't be sad, he was as just bad as any of his colleagues.

Should've worn a suite to that JD Vance meeting.

I have terrible news for you if you think using a homophobic slur is as bad as anything the previous popes and cardinals have been doing.

Francis was known as a liberal reformer, making headlines across the globe by permitting the blessing of same-sex couples and promoting global action on climate change.
Francis worked as a janitor and a chemical technician in the food-processing industry before entering the seminary.
He was outspoken about clergy abuse and called on the Catholic Church to "act decisively" against paedophile priests just months after his 2013 appointment.

The homophobic slurs should also be a reminder that the catholic church is a homophobic cult.

"Francis appointed nearly 80% of the cardinal electors who will choose the next pope, increasing the possibility that his successor will continue his progressive policies, despite the strong pushback from traditionalists."

It's just a religion, we strip it of any power if they misbehave.

This was tbe same man that said being homosexual isn't a crime and doesn't merit persecution for it, albeit by the catholic creed being a sin.
An insult is only as long someone allows it to be.
Downvote away.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Cultism is such a potent tendency of the human animal that new cults form spontaneously in the absence of established mythologies (or despite them). Fascism is a cult phenomenon, for instance, and the people vulnerable to such belief systems are unerringly broken in the same way that religious people are broken. It’s like someone scooped out the part of their brains responsible for maintaining epistemic norms and replaced it with oatmeal.
