The reason you have a lot of respect for him, is because he's basically acting as atheist as you can while still being the pope for the church.

That's great for atheists like us, but it makes him a terrible pope.

    I'm curious why you say it makes him a terrible Pope. A lot of Catholics thinks he is great too. Some don't. It's all subjective really isn't it?

    The Cardinals elect the Pope they want to set the direction of the Church. So, by definition he's the best Pope.

    You think the fucking pope is "adhering to atheist values"? What an interesting place the inside of your head must be.

    @Zensate You seem to believe in "atheist values", but they are not: speaking as an atheist raised in a non-Christian religion, what you're talking about are specifically *Christian* atheist values—they embed a bunch of Christian eschatalogical assumptions even as they reject the core thesis. So you have *far* more in common, belief-wise, with the Pope, than you do with an ex-Hindu or ex-Jewish or ex-Buddhist atheist.

    Buddhists are, by definition, atheist

    I know s he’s made statements about correcting the molestation problems in the church, but until they are all purged, convicted, and the victims are fully compensated, and the celibacy and male only priesthood is rules are abolished, he’s still a catholic.
