Can someone knowledgeable explain what's going on at the Vatican? Trump-loyal Catholic leaders are being defanged. Diversity and acceptance are being promoted. (www.msn.com)

I don't know what's going on with the pedophiles, but I hope the same reform.

Is this Pope good?

They seem to flip between hard liners and reformers. Francis is from South America where the church is more Christian, for lack of a better word, more concerned with lifting up the poor and nonviolence. They are just an awfully big ship to turn and never going to align with a truly progressive movement. But yes I think both John Paul II and Francis could be considered forces for good working within the system.
