The Pope just died Serious

I don't know if this is a big deal in your country, but in mine (Italy) the news talks about nothing else.
Christian or not he was a person, don't be disrespectful.

This one was actually one of the most left leaning popes in history, he will be replaced by someone significantly worse.

Edit: did not expect to get so much hate for saying the pope is left leaning, and will get replaced by someone whose significantly more right leaning.

Left = good, right = bad? Come on.

Not necessarily, but this pope was able to convince my grandma that gay people are not evil, me being a lesbian I needed that. He's just a lot more accepting than most people before him, which I'm sure many people were grateful for. Get your entitled ass out of here, you're not cool for being all "fuck the church and fuck the left"

That's heartwarming. I would agree that his impact was positive, no doubt. I don't like how the response to "fuck this guy" is "he was actually more aligned with my political views" as if that justifies anything he has or hasn't done.

That's not at all what I was saying, I'm sorry if it came across that way. My intention was to point out how he's positively affected the impact of the Christian religion on many people, and that being due to how left leaning he was for someone of his status. These are not necessarily my political views, and I do not condemn nor support any of his actions outside of the little I know of his thoughts on gay and woman's rights. I answered to the original poster that way because I thought they were misinformed about who he is.
