I hate the fucking American media! I found an article but it was a super-lazy garbage job by the reporter. At the very, very end there was this tripe.

While Prevost is seen overall as a centrist, on some key social issues he's viewed as progressive. He has long embraced marginalized groups, a lot like Francis, who championed migrants and the poor. But, also like Pope Francis, the Illinois native opposes ordaining women as deacons, for instance, so on that point he's seen as conservative on church doctrine.

"Progressive" is a word that hardly has any meaning in the US. And that's quintuplely true for somebody like the pope. So - he's not in favor of death camps for the homeless - I guess.

Lib Pope with strong ties with Peru. He helped convince Pope Francis to dissolve a Catholic Far-Right group in Peru that abused children. Is pro-immigrant and said some anti-trump and anti-fujimori stuff. The Peruvian Far-Right hates him. He cares about climate change.

He also said anti-lgbtq+ stuff, anti-abortion and doesn't seem he wants to give eomen more power within the church. There are some accusations that he let some pedo priests in the US live near places children visit, and some about him not caring about victims in Peru (the Peru ones seem fake, only right-wing newspapers were publishing it. The US idk).

The tradcaths are malding or doing some “well I’m going to reserve judgement” cope. It’s the Catholic Church it was never going to be good. But it seems like he’s pretty much just some milquetoast lib, less progressive than Francis but not the worst guy.

He's someone who looks centrist but is solidly in Francis's camp.

I think he was elected for a singular purpose and that is a specially forged dagger aimed at the Anglosphere Catholic right.

I think this is why Tagale lost influence, Francis was increasingly concerned with the heretical tendencies in Tradcaths and has moved to crush them once and for all before they can schism.

Basically Vance may have killed Francis but Francis had his revenge stacked up long before.

Hes the pope, don't expect much

However, The New York Times reports that in 2012, Prevost was critical of entertainment media that held “sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel,” including the “homosexual lifestyle” and “alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.”

he's a catholic priest, which means he's either a pedophile who should be executed, or a pedophile defender who should be executed. there's nothing else you need to know

Hey that prediction became true! A mild conservative who will likely struggle with elements in the papacy in his early reign, who predicted to become pope.

His Wikipedia page seems to be pretty much useless.

Criticism

Prevost has faced criticism from advocates for clergy abuse survivors regarding his handling of sexual abuse allegations during his leadership in the Augustinian order and in Peru. The advocacy group SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) has alleged that Prevost may have failed to act against abuse claims involving Richard McGrath, a former president of Providence Catholic High School, allowing him to remain in his position despite longstanding accusations.

from what i've seen? radlib pope. he has a twitter and a blog i think if you want to see his thoughts as he writes them.

If he doesn't talk about gaza I'll hate him anyway

I just KNOW he throws down at Giordano's

I'd wait for Magnificast or Know Your Enemy to drop a podcast on him.

Wikipedia claims that in his capacity as head of the Augustinian order he refused to remove an SA priest from his position. I have no idea if that is true but I can confirm at least that said SA allegations against that priest are true:
