Wow, American pope. If he thinks JD Vance is a prick, that's good enough for me.
Yep

Exactly. But I appreciate that he had Pope Francis's support -- I really admired the way he lived and what he preached, as well as his bone-deep kindness. Says the lapsed Presbyterian atheist, of course.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Francis was the best pope of my lifetime, but he still headed up one of the most corrupt institutions in the history of Western Civilization. One which normalized sexually abusing children and the cruelties and exploitation of the Magdelane Sisters and provided ratlines for Nazis and enriched themselves at the expense of the poor and fostered so many tortured guilty consciences for gays and women and...you know the score.
I'm happy for a Less Harmful Pope, but fuck the Catholic church. Fancy robes do not mitigate the evil and human suffering it is responsible for.
