    Until the pope can stop his priests and congregation from fucking children, is there any reason to think there will be any positive change?

    Like most figures in religion and Catholicism, the pope is a fairweather friend for Catholics. When he’s singing their tune they’re happy to quote him and laud him for his god given thoughts. When he isn’t, well we get exactly the reaction he’s been given: his own people saying he is wrong even though they were claiming he is God’s earthly representative just moments earlier.

    I’m not outright saying nothing at all good can come of the effort to make change, as there will be some small minority that actually adhere to it, but I don’t see that happening for the vast majority of Catholics who will continue in their bigotry.

    Change over generations will occur moreso, but I think that was coming regardless of his stance. At least that’s what recent history has shown us.

      Are you of the belief that the Pope has super powers?

          You’re the one demanding the Pope be, at minimum, prescient, and ideally omniscient.

            This is a laborious argument that adds nothing to the conversation. You can choose to read my words childishly or you can read them as they are meant. Everyone else was able to parse them, catch up with them.

              I absolutely understood what your comment. I find your ask a bit impossible to fulfill.
