Said during an interview in 2016 link despite me being a lib who reads Pope shit Honestly Critical support for Francis if only so that he can continue to give the Tradcaths huge cases of butthurt and personally give me an easy road to introducing dialectical materialism and later full on socialism to the Latinx youth I work with.
They hated him even before he said anything as pope since he’s a Jesuit. And their big thing is education and philosophy (to the Jesuits its better to be an educated Critically thinking person who doesn’t believe in God then an uneducated beleiver) as well as their history of supporting And even helping found liberation theology.
If I were religious and to dedicate my life to a religious cause, becoming a Jesuit would be high on the list. Buddhist monk is another option I like though.
