    As an ex-catholic myself I don’t like too much the Catholic church, but this dude wasn’t that bad comparing to all other Popes, don’t forget that millions of people listen and follows whatever he says. It would not be so funny if we get a nazi apologist Pope now, to be honest I hope he lives a bit more.

      Yeah, but “better than the other popes” was a very low bar. This one had better words, but not so many better actions.

        I think the point being made is that if he dies you are very likely to get someone far worst in a time where things are already at the brink.

        Do you even know anything he’s done? He is by far the most progressive pope there has ever been.
