Rik Devillé & SNAP, who defends victims of abuse in the church, finds his appointment “A slap in the face" Prevost has protected a priest who abused children for years.
“It’s unbelievable, the whole world is cheering, but the victims are not.”
Prayers are never enough. God helps those who help themselves. We have to fight the fascist regime because praying alone won’t make the anti-Christ go away.
Absolutely. I was really afraid their would be a lurch to the hard right, which was the LAST thing the world needed. Thank you Francis for fighting to get like-minded Cardinals into contention. I hope Prevost is very vocal about what is happening. It's so important.
I am not a fan of the Catholic Church by any means. But it is a huge religion. We could have the two things you mentioned, coupled with a Pope who wants to lead his people back to the 19th century. I choose the more progressive option
The temptation must be so real. If I were a major public figure I don't know that I could resist having a separate burner account phone from which to yell at people.

Pope Leo XIV for POTUS!
I dig that Prevost has clearly been comfortable in this medium and saying the right things.

It looks like Francis’s hand the whole way.
He was promoted by Francis early 2025 to the highest ranking of Cardinal possible indicating this was Francis selection for the concave.
