subreddit. Here’s a raw, unedited, and candid recap of what they’re saying:

1.”They say he’s more conservative on the gospel, if that’s true, it’ll be a good thing I think. That said, time will tell.”

“I liked the energy Pope Francis brought to young people, just disliked his open politics and more liberal view of the gospel. He did a lot of good outwardly and for the reputation of the church to general public. It is exciting to be in a new era though. The only thing I didn’t like is he didn’t speak in English during the inauguration. Would have been a neat thing to see with him being the first American Pope.”

. I am Catholic, I generally liked Pope Francis (and likely this new Pope) but disagree with them on their immigration statements.”

“Catholic Doctrine is essentially this: Nations have a moral duty to regulate immigration for the sake of order and security, but they must also treat migrants justly and humanely, especially those fleeing real danger. To the new Pope I’d say: We are one of the most charitable nations in the world, but the President has a duty to enforce laws. We have treated removal humanely and ******** immigrants not following our laws does far more harm than good.”

3.”I’m honestly exhausted by people who only view the Pope through a political lens. The papacy isn’t a partisan office.”

“The Pope isn’t some figurehead to be cheered or attacked based on party lines. He’s the Vicar of Christ, not a political operative. Reducing him to a cheap politician misses the entire point of his role and calling.”

4.”The papacy has always had political influence.”

“Caring for the poor is at odds with government decisions sometimes. That’s just how the world is. Reality often gets in the way of perfection.”

“The

6.”Guys, as a Catholic, I can tell you he’s left leaning.”

“You will probably see the same stuff as Francis, even if it’s only the media lying about what he’s actually saying.”

7.”The Catholic faith transcends modern political divides.”

“Most core teachings have been preserved and descended from Christ himself, so to say there’s liberals and conservatives is a gross overstatement.”
