Pop Culture

'The Pope' is not a decent human. It is not even a human. It is a position, one that reflects the views of the entire Catholic Church, from the best to the worst.

So, even if the current person who occupies that position is a decent human (and I don't know if he is; I've never met him), he has to wait for a significant majority of Catholics to accept gay rights before the Catholic Church can 'officially' accept it. Until then, he can unofficially support local churches accepting queer rights, and promote better people, which is basically what Francis also did.
