Many, many, many Catholics of my acquaintance have been convinced that current Vicar of Christ, Pope Francis, is evil. He has called for universal abolition of the death penalty, forgiveness of foreign debt, better treatment of migrants and more work on climate change. At the same time, he takes no notice of the hard-working and generous average Catholic. He is a Pope for the Elites and the very poor. He has never condemned the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel. There should be no surprise at all that he sides with the Palestinians in a creche display featuring the Baby Jesus lying on a keffiyeh.
