Does anybody have any good article links on the new pope, Robert Prevost? I assume he's total right-wing dog shit garbage. (hexbear.net)

His Wikipedia page seems to be pretty much useless.

Pope Leo XIV

Criticism

Prevost has faced criticism from advocates for clergy abuse survivors regarding his handling of sexual abuse allegations during his leadership in the Augustinian order and in Peru. The advocacy group SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) has alleged that Prevost may have failed to act against abuse claims involving Richard McGrath, a former president of Providence Catholic High School, allowing him to remain in his position despite longstanding accusations.

Lenin, who previously had faced criticism for distributing illegal revolutionary literature, has now joined the editorial board of Novaya Zhizn.
