He doesn't support women in the ministry

That's not entirely true. While he doesn't support women in the priesthood or as bishops (as set in Catholic dogma), he has placed women in high administrative positions within the Vatican, which is something other popes haven't done.

vilified the LGBTQ community

Also not true. He's pushed a policy of welcoming all people, and while it's true he doesn't support gay marriage, that is again due to established Catholic dogma and has been much more progressive than previous popes.

protected pedo priests.

I can't say whether or not that's true, I can't find any instances of him protecting pedo priests.

    There's another case in Chicago if I recall correctly

    In any case, being gay is still considered a sin and he was at a pedo priests birthday party 3 years ago. He's being told to pander by his media team, but absolutely nothing has changed and he's more than likely a hateful power hungry horrorshow. He's at a minimum worst than Francis (not saying much, every Pope is a low bar)

    The whole org is a fucking shit show, I can't believe people are actually buying this stuff.
