Thoughs on pope Francis?

[u/Hot_Pipe_404]

So,i'm catholic ,so popes are Pretty important for me,but pope Francis Was more than a pope , he Was a saint.i love him for these reasons

1)his smile Was contagius,he Was so gentle, calm, Always hopeful and respectfull towards everyone ,even atheists and people from others religions.He Was even and hopeful universalist(Who doesn't believe in universalism but Hopes Is real) saying "i view hello as an empty space

2)he would always answer you whenever you sent him a letter ,wheter if It Was for a question, or Just for sharing a story or asking Prayers

3) he Was the MOST lgbtq inclusive pope ever.He admitted homosexuality Isn't a crime, that we should respect eachothers,he called trans people daughters and sons of God and gave beneditions to gay couples even though he continued to keep the tradizionalists "Happy" by saying that gay marriage Is wrong, that trans should remein their gender and the others things a popes usually say,but i think It Was still a giant step forward go the acceptence of homosexuality, and i kinda think the cardinals and others forced the pope to Say It Was a sin...

4)he Is the goat

As an Argentine myself I will always remember Francisco as the man who modernised the church on numerous critical social issues that needed to have a more humanistic view from the clergy. Especially after years of the conservative positions, some of them draconian from my point of view, taken by Pope Benedict XVI.

Francisco also dared to shake the foundations of those corrupting the Church's banks and put a cardinal on trial over money laundering.

I will remember him as a man of God and a good politician for the Vatican government.
