“so doctrinaire that he wanted to end the sexual abuse problem in the Catholic Church by drumming all the homosexuals out of the priesthood”

Not seeing the downside.

I actually watched the “Young Pope” a few months ago. I found the series entertaining as a traditional Catholic. I didn’t watch it when it first came out because I couldn’t imagine HBO producing a series about the Vatican that I would not be sent into a rage watching.

But I was listening to a pod caste that described the series depiction of the young pope as a radical traditionalist. So, I decided to try it and was pleasantly surprised.

I watched the first two episodes of the New Pope and have not found it as engaging.

I may go back to it. I have to imagine that the Young Pope will be resurrected in the series sometime. Why else would he be lingering in a coma?

Sometimes, the people who make television shows end up making something that’s pretty good by accident. The Archie Bunker Effect. I might have to give Young Pope a shot.

I liked both shows—the old one and the new. I like John Malkivich’s portrayal.

I watched Young and am watching New.

Very bizarre but entertaining.

Sadly, I think it’s very accurate on terms of many queers are in the clergy.
