Maybe the “calling me a racist Nazi made me a racist Nazi” people should consider whether calling him the Woke Pope might be a self-fulfilling act as well (dear reader, it will not, but … you never know).
It would be funny if the sheer level of crazed hatred directed at him by the American right wing polarizes him even further left over time though, kinda like Amy Coney Barrett.
right, as I understand it, close to the only real constraint on the pope is if he proposes looking too closely at the Vatican's financials, at which point the curia will have him killed 😉
This might actually be wishcasting, but picking an American feels like the Vatican giving itself a whole lot of political cover to crack down on American bishops.
People rightly criticize us for thinking everything is about us and the concers were absolutely global, but Francis was already chipping away at them, I think it was a very real consideration
It’s closer to “AOC in the streets, Antonin Scalia in the sheets”
Catholic social teaching on economics is mostly left of the Democratic Party, let alone the Republican Party. But obviously that’s far from the case on some other issues
I want him to excommunicate JD Vance so bad. Other than that, eh, he's a pope. He's gonna say shit I mostly side-eye on women and LGBTQ+ and agree with on climate change and not being shitty to migrants and the poor.
He does have an endorsement from James Martin, and was the guy who did the appointment of women to the bishop-selection committee. So he'll probably be pretty ok for a Cardinal
its so funny how a "woke' pope is basically a nevertrump conservative + open borders but right wingers think of them as equivalent to a married lesbian episcopalian minister

Long live Cool Pope 2.0!
I know why US bishops have trouble with this and the papacy is a pretty unique flavor, but, guy can wreck you with few formal constraints!
