It’s truly impossible for religious institutions to be progressive, because it renders them redundant when they aren’t recognised as an absolute authority in things
He might not be a “bad” pope, but let’s not pretend that any of them are actually good, doing anything other than maintaining the influence and wealth of their superstition
