He was a boomer, and the perfect Pope to represent the modernist Boomers who mindlessly believe everything the TV tells them. Its likely the Pope wasnt tuned in to any alternative sources of information and simply took everything fed to him bye (((Press))) at face value, and the (((Press))) has portrayed the invasion force of Pagan Savages and Islamic infiltrators as poor oppressed refugees. A man who grew up in a time when the media was assumed to be mostly honest and not lying at every chance would be set in his ways. God gives us the Clergy we deserve. And since Pope Francis actually called out Isntrael for bombing ancient churches and perpetrating genocide, I would say he's slightly better than the boomer generation of hardcore zionists deserved. If the Catholic Laity get our acts together and reject Modernism, then God will give us Popes and Bishops who reject Modernism, but if we continue to be lazy and worldly, God will gvie us a hierarchy just as worldly as we are.
