Huh, figured the pope would be too busy bashing trans people and protecting paedophiles.

Pope Francis abolished the rule of pontifical secrecy that had protected accused child abusers from criminal investigation and has a history of promoting acceptance and inclusion for trans and gay people within the Church.

I don't agree with organized religion in general, and the Roman Catholic Church is particularly problematic. But as far as popes go, I believe Francis is a good one.

Vatican says sex reassignment surgery, surrogacy and gender theory threaten human 'dignity'

He gave Cardinal George Pell a special position working in the Vatican so he could flee my country and avoid prosecution.

Pope Francis is a shitcunt of the highest order.

Thank you for sharing that article, I wasn't aware. I need to read some more and re-evaluate my perspective of the current Pope.
