You can add the Australian PM, Anthony Albanese, to that - another Quiet Achiever who just dismantled the two opposition parties...

New Pope looks too much like Emperor Palpatine, pre-Mace Windu

Interesting POV. Now I'll pay even more attention.
Great descriptors of these men

Low key and humble but principled and fearless.

jeffedu.bsky.social•2 days ago

almost…Obama-esque…wouldn’t you say? 🤔

vtanimallover.bsky.social•2 days ago

…and who appeal to the best in us! I was moved by the joyful unity expressed by the masses across boundaries in both elections… both men appear to embody kindness, intelligence, compassion, politesse…it’s uplifting to see them on the world stage, isn’t it!

🤔 I've never seen them both in the same room come to think of it.

We’re not an overly religious nation thank goodness. We keep it out of government at least. I hate religion personally. It’s basically what’s wrong I. The US . We have to quash the right wing fuck sticks every where we can !

erynwyld.bsky.social•2 days ago

… and we are SUPPOSED to have separation of church and state!

kehart.bsky.social•2 days ago

Is it crazy to think and hope that the new Pope will help bring back democracy in the US?

lbbl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good observation! I like that low key vibe they both have. I love the white hair . They could be brothers! Yes to low key and humble. What a concept!

rwruedii.bsky.social•2 days ago

They are both very humble.

Additionally, they are very progressive on international issues and generally aren't judgemental on other issues that are someone else' private concern.
