Did this deceased pope do the things I accuse him of, or did he not? Are the victims of systemic child abuse by the Catholic Church liars?
If you think the victims aren’t liars, then your objection here is irrelevant. Francis oversaw the systemic cover up of pedophilia, calling him a “pedopope” is just a statement of fact.
If you are calling the victims liars, then you can go fuck yourself.

It is not bigoted to call Francis out for his sanctioning of the pedophile cover ups, and his refusal to even allow the punishment of known child abusers (Nevermind punishing them himself, he sanctioned the intervention on their behalf to get them out of punishment). If a Christian is offended by someone pointing out that Francis didn’t do anything to end the church’s official doctrine of covering up sex crimes on behalf of its members, then quite frankly fuck that Christian, but fuck that Christian in particular. Most people, I suspect most catholics too, don’t think the pope should cover up pedophilia, and it is something over which the papacy and Francis himself has been criticised BY CATHOLICS, and pretending that isn’t the case is indicirectly accusing every Catholic of a crime of which they are not guilty.

I don’t know anything about like medieval popes, so I couldn’t tell you. I suspect it might be true or very close to true though.

I did read the part where you compared the mocking of a dead pope to the ideology and actions of new atheists, and that is what I am taking a shot at.

You will get no sympathy from anyone here for the “attacks” you received on christian forums 20 years ago. As far as I can tell no ine here is mocking the average catholic, they are electing not to respect the pope. The arch theocrat. The literal type specimen of the term.

You wouldn’t be getting any crap for me if you had posted ding dong the witch is dead. I think you are entirely right to shitpost.

My God comrade, they supported the nazis.

I actually will concede that I believe the church did take a stance against eugenics before opposition to eugenics became mainstream. So they were right on ONE issue.

No you are saying that mocking the dead pope is like being a new atheist who cheerlead wars in the middle east. It is not obscurantism to call you out on what you said and what is meant by it. You are comparing people saying “Good riddance pedophile” about a guy who knowingly sanctioned the cover up of sex crimes against minors and who called queers a greats moral evil to the cheering on of genocide. And that IS your point, that IS the point of comparing this to new atheism. That there is any kind of equivalence between these forms of rhetoric.

I literally can’t think of a single issue the catholic church (as an institution) hasn’t been wrong on in the last 1000 years. Francis himself supported Palestine and was generally at least willing to cite scripture about refugees. And for that I will concede that he is the least bad pope.

He was measurably the least bad pope we’ve had in living memory.

“atheist elites want to take power and repress the Church”

Is this a joke post. “I’m new to the ideology but let me tell you why you all need to conform to my ideas. Also mocking a dead pope is the same as cheerleading genocide in the middle east if you think about it”

Public universal pope

What would annoy tradcaths more, gay trans man pope or lesbian pope (Cis or trans)

Only if it works like antimatter and he destroys the papacy if they touch.

Because the alternative was one of the ratzinger disciples who were literally nazis or wanted to burn gays at the stake. Francis sucked, but it’s important to keep in mind in what context he sucked. And that context is that the spanish republicans did nothing wrong, and we will only be free once the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.
