    I grew up so ideologically opposed to these guys that I hate it when they make a good point. 😩

      You know it’s a strange year when both the Mullah regime of Iran and the Pope of the Catholic church put something out there and you can’t immediately disagree…

      They are socially conservative, but they have been fairly consistent at asking people not to kill each other for the past decades.

        I think the leadership is less socially conservative compared to the past, but they represent some very conservative bases so they more or less are having to crawl progress forward or they risk a schism.

        The previous pope, Pope Francis, stacked the Vatican with more progressive leaning cardinals. I believe Pope Leo will be following in Pope Francis’ footsteps in terms of appointments.

        Sir, I tip my hat in your general direction. That was, as they say, a cracking joke.
