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

Lib Pope with strong ties with Peru. He helped convince Pope Francis to dissolve a Catholic Far-Right group in Peru that abused children. Is pro-immigrant and said some anti-trump and anti-fujimori stuff. The Peruvian Far-Right hates him. He cares about climate change.
He also said anti-lgbtq+ stuff, anti-abortion and doesn't seem he wants to give eomen more power within the church. There are some accusations that he let some pedo priests in the US live near places children visit, and some about him not caring about victims in Peru (the Peru ones seem fake, only right-wing newspapers were publishing it. The US idk).
So not good but could be worse?
Better than the average Pope candidate but not woke Pope. He's definitely part of the afrancis faction and his anti LGBT stuff was a single comment 15 years ago.
Still better than most of the others (the better ones were Tagle and Zuppi). I think this came as a compromise between the US catholics and the Latin Americans + Progressive/Liberals catholics
I would've elected a non-white Pope just to piss off TradCaths. Or really anyone who could piss off TradCaths.
Can we find a gay black Catholic for next time?
