Finally, a pope gets elected who wants to put the teachings of Jesus back into Catholicism and influence other Christian denominations to do the same. so he gets dumped on. I hope that he succeeds in putting some Christ back into Christianity. Conservative politics are opposite to the teachings attributed to Jesus.
The guys who have run the Catholic Church for the last 1600 years have indulged in some really shitty behavior and politics, as history shows. The massacre of the Cathars, the Spanish Inquisition, the witch hunts, Magdalene laundries and general marginalization and mistreatment of women, and the church's antii-semitism and assistance to the Nazi regime is just a sampling of their misconduct..
Bannon and Ratzinger (Benedict) are evil people who are trying to use the current appalling trend of conservatives abusing gays for their own political purposes.
I can't say that I hope that Pope Francis will get the Catholic Church back on track because I can't say when it last was "on track." So glad I quit in my teens.
