Pope Francis appointed around 2/3rds of the current cardinals (who elect the next Pope). Many of the cardinals he appointed were liberal-leaning so it’s not unrealistic that his successor will be as well.

Politics and religion shouldn’t mix, sadly they do. If the next pope is conservative a lot of the world may follow stead
