Over the years I have come to admire the strength and steadfastness of the Catholic church in opposing the spiritual and cultural rot of homosexuality and abortion infesting the world...
No other organization in the world has stood up to the dark powers that would would destroy innocent life and righteousness...
That being said...the pope is just a man just like me...puts his pants on just the same and we have the exact same standing before God...
A sinner saved by grace...
I certainly hope the next pope chosen will be younger more conservative and fearless in confronting the evils in this world...

The cardinals at present are a conservative group. I doubt we’ll see a liberal pope come from their vote. I’m liking the idea of an African pope the more I hear about it. African Christians don’t screw around when it comes to the progressive agenda. They reject it without hesitation.
Like you, I have very much admired the benefits that come from the centralized Catholic organization, (although let’s be honest, most American Catholics defy the church’s teachings. Look at Biden). I have actually witnessed more steadfastness among my Russian friends, members of the Eastern Orthodox Church. They have their own pope equivalent, Bartholomew I.
When the liberals apply pressure, many churches start falling like dominoes. It’s sickening. I hope the next pope is a hardliner. No compromise. Compromise with the new age commies will only bring about the death of the church.
