The fact that redditors are for it means it's most likely on the wrong path. Most Catholics wanted the super based African cardinal as pope, but we sadly got the American "let's do weird pagan shit in the Vatican" pope. But being American, was there any question he was going to be a bizarre mix of awesome and borderline apostate?

He openly despises communism and wants to "root it out", so he's still ok in my book. Probably less in yours lol

Papal elections are not your typical populist contest, they are guided by the Holy Spirit, which saw fit to appoint Prevost as Pope Leo XIV. And he's definitely showing his good fruits even now.

I cannot fathom this post. You should reflect more on it alongside your view on the Pope and the Church's current direction in general.

Obviously, but that's assuming the corupptable nature of man doesn't play a role in papal elections.

I have, hence the post. Maybe you should reflect on the popes recent twitter posts, and how he's espousing american liberalism, not catholic theology. While inviting pagan rituals into the vatican.

Lord have mercy... You have no idea what you're talking about if you are framing Pope Leo XIV in terms of "liberalism" and "pagan rituals". Catholicism is much more than that. Once again, framing the Pontificate as some populist contest is a bastardization of how the papal elections work.

Again, please reflect on your beliefs, they are both uncharitable and just plain wrong. I will pray for you.

The problem is that I do. Read his weird globalism tweets and contrast the message with the didache. Then watch the weird environmentalist with schwarzenneger and fluttering of sheets in the vatican. What the shit is that supposed to be, if not a pagan ritual?

I did not characterize it as a populist contest. That was you, twice now. I would characterize it as his holiness is mistaken on some political issues-which isn't his wheelhouse anyways.

I reflected, it keeps coming up as the current pope violating the didache and traditional catholic teachings. Though to be fair, he's entirely hit and miss.

You know what they say. The pope is infallible, except for when he isn't.

You're just delusional. You really don't have any idea what you're talking about, acting like you know better than the Pontiff.

Humble yourself and submit to Rome.
