Imo a lot of the good stuff the pope's said in the past that he's gotten credit for from progressives should be looked at more from the angle of the head of a declining religion trying to get new converts, rather than him being genuinely progressive. Pope Francis got way too much leeway from leftists just because he managed to pass the incredibly low bar of just not being an overtly far right weirdo or a nazi collaborator (unlike some previous popes)
