As far as the Catholic Church‘s sexual abuse scandals went, he wasn‘t much better than the guys before him. His take on a more open Catholicism was welcome, of course.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

You of all people liked him? Why? I‘d have thought you respected the more hardcore conservative popes of the past.

I actually haven't taken the time to read about the past popes in detail, but I still consider Pope Francis to be a net positive overall.

I'm not sure which angle you're coming from, but I'm assuming you're surprised that I have a soft spot for Pope Francis considering his views on Climate Change and Capitalism?

I'm definetly not a Typical GOP-style conservative. I am both anti-Capitalist and I believe Climate Change is a serious problem, so I agree with the Pope's views on those topics.

Even his LGBT stuff is not THAT progressive.

I feel like Pope changes were this incredibly few and far inbetween thing when I was a kid and yet it's like the last three Pope changes were a finger snap distance apart.

For us guys in our mid-forties it seems like that because it was John Paul II for all our childhood and young adulthood. But if you were born in the early seventies, you‘ve seen a whole bunch of popes by now.

I think John Paul II will be remembered most of them all, since he assited NATO in winning the Cold War. (The spirutual way, not the military one).

I heard on local breaking news that south suburban Chicago has just produced a new Pope; Pope Leo XIV.

I'm not really a religious person, but to be near an area that has just elected a new Pope is pretty cool.

We dodged a bullet with this last pope... we almost ended up with Internazionale Immobiliare! But the new pope... is a very different pope!

Start playing "cult of personality" it's CM* Pope! (Chicago Made, considering the Catholic churches history of child abuse, it could easily stand for something else).

I hope the Vatican has some AI pics ready of Leo XIV being sworn in as President upon Trump's death.

"Hey, relax, it's just joke, loosen up guys"

At least Leo will place his hand on the Bible.

Well, considering the historic allegations against the Catholic church for child sexual abuse, I assume most don't.

The role of the pope in today's society is probably irrelevant but seeing an imbecile like Laura Loomer having a meltdown over it is amusing, of course. Americans calling anyone a "Marxist" is always fun.

Oh and I’ve least seen two AI pics of the Pope as US President…
