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

Yeah to be clear I’m not gonna fall on my sword defending the pope lol. Also I think “progressive” means something very different in the Catholic Church vs the real world, and I don’t think this pope is even necessarily that, probably more moderate. But this pope does seem to follow Francis in a number of ways so it’ll be interesting to see where he falls on this issue. Personally, I don’t think he’ll be horrible, but this is also the Catholic Church so not horrible still isn’t that great. I just don’t think he’ll be a hardline conservative or something.
That quote above tbh wouldn’t be out of place being said by a lib during the gay marriage debates. Maybe without the religious angle, but the general sentiment was there.
