RIP.

I won't pretend I liked this pope. I was born Catholic but I don't practice now. I think Pope Francis was too political and anti-American. Liberalism and Catholicism do not mix. I hope the next pope stays out of American politics, and takes a more traditional approach to the Catholic religion. Religions that change with the times, or adjust for modern morality, are fake to me. If God said something is a sin , then no Pope or mortal man can change it. If they can, then it must not have been God's word in the first place - or the church is fake.

Religions that have allowed gay pastors, for example, are sending a conflicting message. If they allowed this only to gain more followers then they have literally condoned sin to attract sinner with the intent of continuing to sin.

The western world is spiraling into depravity, and more so under the reign of this pope. The new pope needs to send a clear message to Catholics that sin is sin then and now. God's word is God's word. If people will not follow God's word then it is self-defeating to change to keep them as followers.

I didn't want to trample on his grave either, but my opinion on him is probably far less than yours.

I'm not a Catholic so obviously know less about this than most, but my opinion he is an extreme Globalist (and many times Marxist) with many of his views, and I do believe he hates the US. His open borders views are just deplorable IMO.

I believe he was anti-American. But as a cultural leader of the world, it is important for the Catholic church to restore Catholicism in the US, and you can't do that by being anti-American.

I believe it is the role of the church to fight immorality and depravity. As I said I am not a devout anything but I know the stories about Sodom and Gomorrah.

The new pope has to recognize first that there is a war against Christianity today. And the war is to destroy morality. The Catholic church stands in the way of that destruction, as do all Christians.

The second thing is, the Muslim world wants to destroy Christianity too. The conquest of Europe by Muslim migrants is part of a larger plan, which some have openly stated, which is to turn the western societies to Islam.

Conclave song : "I Want A New Pope !" (Sung to "I Want A New Drug" . . .)

I want a new Pope
One that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick

I want a new Pope
One that won't hurt my head
One that won't make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red

One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you

I want a new Pope
One that won't spill
One that don't cost too much
Or come in a pill

I want a new Pope
One that won't go away
One that won't keep me up all night
One that won't make me sleep all day

One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you

I want a new Pope
One that does what it should
One that won't make me feel too bad
One that won't make me feel too good

I want a new Pope
One with no doubt
One that won't make me talk too much
Or make my face break out

One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
