    Friendly reminder: Progressive for a pope is still a transphobe who actively facilitated the rape of children. Not to mention all the horrific colonizer shit.

    Rest in piss Frankie boy.

      I hate that you’re right. Like, seeing how kind and compassionate the man was outwardly in the day to day and knowing of the horrors he and the church participated in and tried to hide… It makes me all the more sour to organized religion.

      It’s like, he was pretty woke for a Pope, but, he was still a Pope.

      I don’t think things would have worked out well had he gone full prog anyway. There’d be schisms for sure. Hell, Trump would probably declare an American Catholic Church and have himself elected Pope of it. (Shit, I really shouldn’t have given him that idea)

      I don’t really know which way he personally felt. But even a Jesuit at the end of the day is a Catholic.

        You’ll understand if I honestly don’t care if a fundamentally hateful and harmful org broke up.

        If “maybe we should stop supporting transphobia and rape and…” will kill an org… that org probably shouldn’t exist at all.

          I think what they’re saying is more along the lines of fracturing the existing org and replacing it with something worse.

            Again, fuck that.

            “Sorry our trans friends. We would love to stop saying you are going to hell and are inhuman but doing so might mean we do even worse stuff in the future. Hey, don’t forget the alms basket, You… probably shouldn’t be in our churches but you can go to this website and give us money anyway”

      100%

      After the way he let Robert Finn skate when he ran cover for a priest raping kids, Francis belongs in Hell. It’s a bummer that Hell isn’t a real place.
