Well there’s a pontifacts podcast that has two women rating popes on their desirability.
Anyone else freaked out by the headlines about him?
Annoyed mostly. The Pope shouldn’t have this kind of influence on the modern world.
His influence was by choice, people loved him, unlike the fucking Kardashian or most western celeb who are shoved down your throat like Sabrina carpenter
I’m not catholic or Christian and I also admire pope Francis
Right… It’ll be the same when Kim Kardashian or Beyonce dies.
They at least don’t claim to be the infallible earthly ambassadors of a deity giving them the ability and authority to speak on international politics.
Don’t they, though?
I’m an old fart out of touch with most of current pop culture so, granted, I can’t rule anything out.
