(21,754 posts)None of the posts propping up the pope addresses any of the issues, they simply say 'look over here where he is being a good guy and ignore the problems'. The fact is, the pope wants to everyone to ignore how the church treats the LGBT community, there is no effort to change the attitude towards the community, just a 'lets not talk about it anymore'. The idea that the pope might make women cardinals was bullshit and the real thought on it is that it's absurd and has no chance of even being considered. There was also a whistle blower fired for talking about pedophile priests... This was just last week, not some time in the distant past or under another pope... This pope is still covering it up.
Bottom line is that no real change is happening, just a PR barrage trying to distract. It's bullshit.
