Most “catholics” here are just high church protestants who want to feel better about their sins by putting down the Pope. (also seeing as this is the internet, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of them are trolling or trying to get a reaction from people)

If anybody is putting down anybody, it's the Pope putting down traditional Catholics:

The Pope Francis Little Book of Insults

"Old maid!" "Specialist of the Logos!" "Rosary counter!" "Functionary!" "Self-absorbed, Promethean neo-Pelagian!" "Restorationist!" "Pelagian!" "Mr and Mrs Whiner!" "Triumphalist!" "Liquid Christian!" "Museum mummy!" "Renaissance prince!" "Airport Bishop!" "Ideologue of the Logos!" "Leprous courtier!" "Idealogue!" "Long-faced, mournful funeral Christian!" "Gnostic!" "Careerist Bishop!" "Sourpuss!" "Pretender!" "Liturgical obsessive!" "Sayer of prayers!" "Authoritarian!" "Elitist!" "Querulous and disillusioned pessimist!" "Sad Christian!" "Pickled pepper-faced Christian!" "Children! Afraid to dance! To cry! Afraid of everything!" "Asker for certainty in all things!" "Closed, sad, trapped Christian who is not a free Christian!" "Pagan Christian!" "Little monster!" "Defeated Christian!" "Creed-reciting, parrot Christian!" "Watered-down faith, weak-hoped Christian!" "Inquisitorial beater!" "Seminarians who grit their teeth and wait to finish, follow rules and smile [who] reveal the hypocrisy of clericalism - one of the worst evils!" "Abstract ideologue!" "Fundamentalist!" "Smarmy, idolator priest!" "Worshiper of the god Narcissus!" "Vain, butterfly-priest!" "Priest-wheeler dealer!" "Priest-tycoon!" "Religious who have a heart as sour as vinegar!" "Promoter of the poison of immanence!" “Those closed in the formality of a prayer that is cold, stingy [who] might end up as Michal, in the sterility of her formality.”

The is a portrait of Pope Francis in the vestibulum of our chapel where a diocese Tridentine Mass is celebrated.

I always feel like turning the portrait upside down or sideways or something during the Mass.
