    If God existed, I doubt he goes around with a magic cancer wand. That being said, Pope Leo isn’t a good person, he just has a good media team.

        He doesn’t support women in the ministry, vilified the LGBTQ community and most importantly, protected pedo priests.

          He doesn’t support women in the ministry

          That’s not entirely true. While he doesn’t support women in the priesthood or as bishops (as set in Catholic dogma), he has placed women in high administrative positions within the Vatican, which is something other popes haven’t done.

          vilified the LGBTQ community

          Also not true. He’s pushed a policy of welcoming all people, and while it’s true he doesn’t support gay marriage, that is again due to established Catholic dogma and has been much more progressive than previous popes.

          protected pedo priests.

          I can’t say whether or not that’s true, I can’t find any instances of him protecting pedo priests.
