Pope Francis

[Dawn Meredith]

He sounds really progressive [sarcasm]. So, repress the Liberation Theology, keep the CC conservative and even oppressive to many, let the scandals roll on - especially the Vatican Bank scandals.....nothing has changed....maybe even some Gladio action will be tolerated.

What did you expect, someone radical/revolutionary/pro-Peace and morality like Jesus?!

IMO, Its a corporation....only a religious one. Cardinals are the Board and its business and the usual pedophilia scandals as usual. Women and progressives/reformers can hope for no changes.

I hope I didn't offend any Catholics - I could easily criticize any organized religion.

NB

On April 15, 2005, a human rights lawyer filed a criminal complaint against Bergoglio, accusing him of conspiring with the junta in 1976 to kidnap two Jesuit priests, whom he, as superior of the Society of Jesus of Argentina in 1976, had asked to leave their pastoral work following conflict within the Society over how to respond to the new military dictatorship, with some priests advocating a violent overthrow. Bergoglio's spokesman has flatly denied the allegations. No evidence was presented linking the cardinal to this crime.[5]

THAT is REALLY troubling!

It seems that we did have one like that - Pope John Paul the first- but the ptb did not like his reformist attitude and he suddenly died. Aside from a book I once had and stupidly loaned out in the 80's called "In God's name" (I think that was the title it was never returned), not much has been writtten about this inside job.
