    Agreed. I kind of dislike how he started to focus so much on climate change during the abuse scandal, because it just kind of ended up dividing Catholics even more and it looked like an attempt at a diversion, but it's definitely great that he's been so vocal about capitalism and ecology.

      Hard agree about that. I will say, not in the defense of the Church but as a criticism against other states, countries could launch investigations and raids to get these priests locked up, but they won’t do it. He is by no means perfect, but at least he’s a religious leader condemning two crises that are existential threats to mankind.
