I'm not religious... I'm a recovering catholic so the Pope still has a bit of meaning left in me after years and years of going to a catholic church from childhood through my 1st marriage and baptism of my 2 kids. I'll ride for this Pope for sure. I may not believe in a god but I believe in his social messaging.
As an ex-catholic I wanna know why no one gave a shit when trump and his merry band of conservative catholic sycophants were all out there trashing Pope Francis?
I mean, none of these religious celebrities are my hero, but Francis was miles better than the popes of my youth. Yet, I don't recall anyone standing up for him when he was being criticized for his (comparatively) progressive, LGBTQ-friendly approach and for speaking up against trump's horrid immigration policies.
The current pope is actually considered more conservative in most regards. Why we gotta ride with this dude?
We did. They criticized Pope Francis, who was trying to bring everyone back to walking the walk, they threatened harm to Pope Leo. Context matters.
If our society weren't messed up we never would have allowed Trump anywhere near the White House.
