MAGAs have lost their souls and minds, if they ever had the latter. The whole Pope position is more than iffy, totally unnecessary and a relic of the past, a reminder of the times in which the Pope had lands and actual power (and much blood was shed making these people rich and using the name of God as an excuse). This pope might be, insha'Allah, a better human than every single red American, sure, but that's a very low bar, especially for a religious leader. The last Pope was loved by all and was an exception because he was a reasonable and moral man, not a politician in funny clothes.

About pope part: meh.

Pope is more than position - it's a symbol and in my lifetime I already heard about two beloved popes so yeah. They are to act like a shepard and inspire us to be the better version of ourselves. In short, spiritual leaders.

It doesn't work on not religious people for the most part, and it's not supposed to. And from what I've seen id doesn't work neither for left nor right...for first because christianity is too slow on moral progress and on the other because christianity is too fast with moral progress. Which is a funny proof for people thinking they can meet with right in the middle xD
