What does Zig Forums think of Pope Francis?

reactionary, insufficiently anti-capitalist
he could really affect change politically if he wanted to, at least in Italy

The Catholic church is a relic of the feudal ages. Much like landed nobility and landlordism in general, it has managed to exist this late in capitalism due to its massive accumulated wealth and bureaucratic/corrupt laws protecting it alone.

Francis is fine for a Pope, but in the same way that Jimmy Carter was fine for a President. In the end the Pope and the President are both upholding systems of hierarchy and abuse and will wither away when wealth and bureaucracy can no longer protect them.

And when I say "fine" that is closer to "overall bad" than "overall good." Carter restarted the cold war, and Francis continues to protect child rapists (the main reason Benedict stepped down–he could not overcome the bureaucracy and hold pervs accountable)

He honestly couldn't affect change. The Pope is beholden to the college of cardinals and a vast system of administrators and bureaucrats.
He could issue papal bulls for political reasons but that would be out of character. The Vatican thinks in terms of centuries, not decades, and makes decisions accordingly. Without status quo or the barest incrementalism possible they would cease to function.

Way better than any previous pope but, you know, still shit.

he has a foot fetish

I'm starting to wonder how much taking vows of chastity and viewing sex as a damnable offense, invites perverts into the church with a guilty conscious. They should just let them get married like the Anglicans.

I think that his neck would slit pretty easily in a guillotine.

Religion is a distraction that makes the prols looks up instead of down at the material conditions that are the actual cause of their socio-economic problems.

i listened to some new age audiobook on "the law of attraction" once, and it claimed that people in poverty simply didn't have enough faith to change their circumstances. Religion really just enforces complacency.
opium of the masses and so forth

it's pretty funny that people celebrated him for being south american when his family is completely italian (same for bolsonaro btw)

Catholicism, American Protestantism, any type of Judaism sympathetic to Zionism or Israel, and Islamism should all be obliterated from the face of the planet and their leaders executed live on television one by one

Religion in itself isn't counterrevolutionary but all of these strains deserve total destruction at any cost

this is only because of plutocratic corruption in these institutions, in socialism, religion would not have the ability to be used as a weapon against the proletariat.

Poop?

BRRRAAAAPPP

Give that to poop.

Fuck religion. Fuck paedophiles.

It's almost like I said that in my post

Jewish cuckold leftist with a foot fetish that needs to be murdered ASAP.

Is nazbol gang finally returning to leftypol

no, it's just nazi schizoposting

organized abrahamic religions should be nuked

What is this, 2003?

Also because of the chastity the average Catholic Priest is 70 years old. The Church is literally dying of old age.

Argentina has a large Italian descendent community. Implying someone isn’t “a real Argintine” for being of Italian descent is stupid.

Hey, Congregationalists are pretty okay.

A virtue-signalling faget. If he wanted to fix that shit, he would write off those gun-fetishizing, prosperity-theology-worshipping, poor-people-hating, racist, sexist Good Men who dare call themselves Christian as the heretics they are.
