I'm atheist but I'm still quite sad he died, seemed like the most progressive pope to me, rip
I can’t believe the church’s PR pope actually fooled an atheist. None of his talk was real. Homophobia continues rampant through the church, he himself continued to shield and hide pedo priests from authorities, refused to meet with victims. He was a right wing, homophonic bigot before becoming pope, you think he changed at age 80?
He was all smoke and mirrors, nothing actually changed, all he did was put the golden throne in storage, not donate it to charity

Thank you, Cartman.
In addition, he was also transphobic and opposed to bodily self-determination as well nya: https://apnews.com/article/vatican-gender-surrogacy-abortion-pope-3f84d8eb97f045b0cfb0ec1efa4e614e
This is the only truth. Fuck him. I'm glad he's dead.
Agreed. While not the ideal pope, he was much better than Benedict the 16th.
Yes he was.
I am not religious at all, but I have seen some quite human responses from him on matters like LHBTQ, ukraine, Gaza and such.
Also: I am quite anxious to see who will succeed him (hoping for a progressive one obviously).
You mean when he said that Ukraine should have the courage to surrender to Russia?
Yeah okay, that was less fortunate 😅
Oh you must have missed when he used the F-word (in italian)
Just human, i'd say 😉
Homophobic intolerant is the correct wording 😘
What's the H for in LHBTQ?
Ah sorry thats the dutch acronym. That's same as the G.
Yeah but that's not a high bar. Hopefully his successor is even more so.
They are just pr guy, it doesn't matter how progressive they pretend to be.
Well it does if they promote other progressive people to higher positions in the organization.
