atheists upset because Pope Francis kept the status quo like every other pope would
Christians upset because Pope Francis changed some things for the better, like no other pope before him
It's weird how he had no chance.

It's interesting to see the hate for this pope from both sides. I've seen many comments from the atheist perspective, rightfully calling out his protection of child molestors and rapists. And at the same time, read comments from "religious" people excited for his death because he dared to be liberal on a few points.
Damned if you don't, damned if you do. I guess. /s
Almost like a singular figurehead interpreting ancient texts for application in the modern world doesn't work.
- At this point the CC is nothing more than a narrow minded hate cult with too much funds and influence at its disposal. It needs to go yesterday.

Hes probably the most left leaning pope the Vatican has ever seen. It is a slight shame but he is still a figure of an institution that has amassed a hoard of wealth keeping it from those who need it most while manipulating history and the public narrative in their interests all while covering up for child predators within their ranks to protect their wealth/interests. What little good Francis has done is unfortunately obfuscated by the awful nature of the institutional monolith he has represented
