I don't care at all because I don't believe in any religion and I think that religion is a problem in this world. But all I can say is if he's liberal enough to be supporting the LGBTQ+ community🏳️‍🌈 and Women's rights.

Hopefully in the past 10+ years he's evolved & adapted. Francis pushed as far left as he could. I fear it will take a long time for the Church to be the world leader it should be. Francis took big steps. Fingers crossed & "prayers" Leo will continue his work.

Honestly Zoe as a cradle Catholic American my heart is full of hope. Morale about our political leadership is awful. People feel helpless. The surprise of Leo is a gift, I truly feel a sign of bright promise. An ally for us who are a little lost right now.
