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.

    He was probably the best pope in a while. Definitely more open and tolerant than normal.

    It’s not much to beat the normal here, but it was a step in the right direction if nothing else. Not enough of course, but what could we really expect?
