| SanAndreasX said: Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of the Archdiocese of Chicago has just been elected pope. So it looks like Catholicdom is about to be under Trump's control now. |
He was appointed by Pope Francis. He is also a Peruvian national. Described as a "Moderate" and closer to Francis on some social issues such as advocating for migrants and the poor, however he has some outdated and shit views on women, such as opposing ordaining women as deacons and in 2012 had some shitty views on LGBTQ+
"He lamented that Western news media and popular culture fostered "sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel." He cited the "homosexual lifestyle" and "alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children." As bishop in Chiclayo, a city in northwestern Peru, he opposed a government plan to add teachings on gender in schools. "The promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don't exist," he told local news media.
He also handled sexual abuse against minors in the Church really fucking shit too.
"In 2000, Prevost allowed Father James Ray, an Augustinian priest, to reside at St. John Stone Friary in Chicago. Ray had been suspended from public ministry since 1991 due to credible accusations of sexual abuse of minors. Although the priory was close to a Catholic elementary school, Prevost did not notify the school administration about Ray"
So seems like if his views haven't changed, it's a homophobic, paedophile protector, who is also pro-immigration and tries to help the poor, Lol. Seems like your average Pope Tbh. Lets hope his outdated views on homosexuality have changed for the better. He does seem moderate from what I've read, well, for a Catholic at least.
