I’m not saying we shouldn’t want more from the pope. But for a man in his 60s, who has been a priest and a cardinal? Sure. If you’re expecting the pope to go “actually throw out everything we’ve done and said in the last 100 years if not longer” you will be disappointed.

As a reminder:
- the papacy has generally been behind the average Catholic’s real opinions
- someone who is able to climb to be a cardinal is not going to be “woke” by normal people standards. “Woke” by Catholic priest standards, sure. But by average the American? No
