Sure, he may have SOME positive qualities. But when you get down to it, he's still a homophobic bigot just like the rest of his religion.

Only religious morons would call an effort specifically designed to prevent the formation of families "defense of families". "Defense of families" is nothing more than a euphemism for bigotry towards homosexuals. Nobody's fooled.

In other news, abortion is "defense of children".

RE: For anyone who likes Pope Francis
With popes and politicians, it's never "like" as much as "is preferable to".

As it happens I think the moronic things he's said of late are extremely damaging, but I'm not sure who to yet. It may server to expose what a crock of shit the whole thing is and highlight their hypocrisy.

RE: For anyone who likes Pope Francis
Well, to me, he's a minus one on the 0 to 5 Good Pope Scale. He talks a good talk, I like the fact that he isn't from Europe. But it's the same old shit. One of his first actions was to transfer several cardinals out of their respective countries just ahead of indictments. No doubt this was already on Ratzinger's "To Do" list. And he can blame it on the rapscallions appointed to the Curia (sp?) by Benedict as well, if he hasn't already.

His latest remarks on free speech sealed his fate, in my book. Undecided
By the way, I can't think of any Pope ever that's equaled or exceeded zero on my 0 to 5 Good Pope Scale. Perhaps the one who finally closes up shop over there?

RE: For anyone who likes Pope Francis
You have a zero to five scale for popes, where every pope is in the negative digits? Sounds legit to me.

Okay, so Francis has gone from the kind of pope we might kind of like, to the lesser of evils. And will probably go downhill from there.

What has he done that would merit the title of "Pope we might kind of like"?
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

Neither did any of the "bad" popes, they just protected and facilitated it...just like Popey Frank is.

This guy... started out decent enough...
But power corrupts... Some people just take longer to be corrupted by power... Frank's time is up... apparently.
