I\u2019m a pretty lousy one too. I haven\u2019t been in a church in years and that was for a funeral. I consider the recently deceased pope to be a flat out disaster for the Church. He spent way to much time and resources on things that really aren\u2019t things that the Church should be talking about. It doesn\u2019t help that he was a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Liberation_theology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">liberation theologian<\/a> too.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, I\u2019m not to to sure I really care who the next pope is. There are a lot of internal issues that have been swept under the rug that need to be dealt with. Whether or not the Cardinals \u201cDo the right thing\u201d so to speak and elect someone who can start fixing the issues, or they decide to double down on stupid and put another Pope Francis on the Chair of Saint Peter. We\u2019ll find out sometime in the next few weeks.
