Nope. Religion is just a power structure that co-opts the best parts of humanism but then adds in its own control schemes. It literally has never done anything good for anyone that simple Golden Rule wouldn't have. Just look at what it's doing in the middle east right now by simply existing.

No it doesn’t. Again, the good parts of religion just come from humanism and The Golden Rule. There is no actual punishment and people know it, they simply use it as an excuse to forgo consequences or responsibility

Congratulations Chicago! An American pope from your state, how exciting! He seems so gentle and ..young! I hope your state can restore the church he was involved with. I heard rumors! You must be very proud Governor Pritzker! Mazel Tov from Scottsdale, where half of Chicago resides in winter!

Pope Francis was (South) American. He’s the first pope from the US.

I hope Pope Leo XIV introduces a new order, the Servants of the Children of Light, who “drawing from the rich tradition of St. Benedict, serve the Church by contemplative prayer, and have the apostolate of Catholic Montessori education.” https://servantsofthechildrenoflight.org

He’s an Augustinian.He spent most of his priesthood in Peru. good understanding of global migration issues.Like Francis he indicated he’s for “building bridges”-Augustinians are known to “actively engage in serving the poor and marginalized, reflecting the values of charity (caritas) and compassion”
