I think his statements are true and untrue depending on adjective to describe the pope. The Pope is senile, did you hear what he said about Islam?

I'm a liberal who doesn't mind trashing the Pope although I was raised Catholic although I was raised by a mum who is a Repub who abhors the Pope.

I will agree the Pope is senile and has said some very racist/prejudice things against Islam.

He's a hater who has way too much clout in world politics for a man of religion and I'm surprised people would even be slightly defensive of him.

So for the Pope to be senile, I'd be prone to agree. As for a pedophile that is going to far and definitely a sore spot for the Church who I have problems with since they did save the lives of many a pedophile even after knowing of the accusations. I can't abide that.
