At genuine risk of pissing off a lot of fedi folk -- I'm appalled at all the gushing over a new leader for one of the most reactionary and irrational quasi states out there -- the Catholic Church.

It's a vicious homophobic and misogynist force in the world. I do get that Francis was an actual good guy especially compared the the previous Rat bastard, but sheesh, some context please.

The new guy may have many positive symbolic and real attributes, but he ain't done shit yet. You are what you do. Wait and see.

I piss you off? Block me. Because reference to religiosity and orgs like global churches pisses me off, is hurtful to me and I know lots of others. They were a key source of straight up oppression for me and many thousands of other kids and adults.

The people who do good things in the world are people, not the orgs they belong to.

Maybe consider CWing the Pope shit.

Sheesh.
