    “This particular pope” happens to be, as a point of fact, the previous, already dead pope. I’m not gonna pretend like the Catholic Church is anything approaching a decent institution, nor that Leo hasn’t historically been less than ideal on LGBTQ rights, but you’re aiming that particular accusation at the wrong guy based on the quotes of a man who’s been dead for over a year.

    Still, you’re not exactly wrong about the rest, eh?

      I always get them confused, they’re all Chief Pedo to me you know. Anyway, here’s today’s flavor of ‘old guy defending pedos’ and what he said about transgender people: https://www.npr.org/2025/05/09/nx-s1-5393705/pope-leo-stance-issues-lgtbq-climate-women-politics

      Like I get that people are happy he isn’t one of the worse popes we’ve had in recent decades but come the fuck on y’all, he’s still the fucking Pope, leader of some bumfuck religion, chief of the premier child sexual abuse organization, actively refusing to cooperate with law enforcement or give us any insight into what the fuck has been happening for decades save for like, snippets, to keep the public happy. Full transparency and the full prosecution of every single person accused of child (sexual) abuse. Full transparency on where money is going in this black box of money laundering and corruption and political influencing. Anything short of that, you’re King Pederasty to me, and you deserve every bit of cancer that comes your way, idc if you’re the ‘good pope’.

      May every pope rot in the worst hells they conjure up in their nightmares.
