  • He’s been a PR pope whose purpose was to convince you that the Catholic Church is less regressive than it is. None of their stances on LGBT people have fundamentally changed, and they are still a huge driver of anti-abortion laws and access issues, even in the US; did you know 1 in 10 hospitals in the US are Catholic? In some areas that means your only option doesn’t do abortions, even if it’s legal in your state and you have a medical need for one. Or if they make an exception it’s only after making you unnecessarily risk sepsis. The same kind of stuff you’re seeing people die/nearly die from in states where abortion is illegal.

    And there’s pretty much always Catholics who think the current pope is Going Too Far if they do anything short of reversing Vatican II.
