    What I mean is, the people who decide who is pope were never going to allow someone the title who would fight back against those topics.

    It doesn’t matter how good or bad he is.

      And my point is he is a bad person, maybe the best we could hope for but still a bad person.

      I never said I expected better, just that the media lays it on thick and that it’s laughable all the rubes that praise a guy who shrouds himself in homophobia and trans hate, and who protects pedophiles.
