Maybe I'm the only one, but I would be interested in hearing from Catholics regarding their perspective on the current Pope. Approach the matter anyway you like, but some of the factors I'm curious about are:

(1) Your assessment of some of his more politicized statements & views.
(2) How you would compare him to other Popes of the past 50-60 years.
(3) Do you consider him to be infallible regarding his pronouncements, statements, etc?
4) How much impact does he or any other Pope have on (1) Your own views and (2) your own life?


I'm Protestant, but I'm very curious regarding how Catholics feel about Pope Francis.

Former Catholic.

1. Too progressive and seems push liberal agendas
2. Who ranks popes?
3. Catholic faith recognizes the pope to be infallible. This is a trick question.
4. Almost zero.

RCC

Don't like him and his social justice bullshite.

Disgorge the wealth of the Church and tear down the walls around Vatican City and I might give his opinions on wealth and immigration some weight.

He's just trying to navigate the times and bring the church into the 21st century. It's interesting to watch and I enjoy his political commentary and opinions .

He's not very consistent with Jesus.

The very idea of what a pope is is laughably and unchristian. Of course Catholicism in general is pagan and non Christian.

1.) If those statements were accurately portrayed, it appears he's a product of his upbringing in a shithole with limited ideas about freedom.
2.) I can only comment back to PJP2. He's not worthy of mention in the same sentence.
3.) Infallible?
4.) No impact on my views or my life as a practicing Catholic. PJPII, though, based on his contributions to the fall of Soviet Communism had an impact on all.

Only when speaking ex-Cathedra. Which is extremely rare outside of canonizations.
