Always love how Christians can justify anything for their religion … no matter what it does.
I love legend of the Judas sects … believers that honour the memory of the traitor Judas Iscariot … their belief is based on the idea that in order for the good to complete their earthly work, they need to fight and defeat ‘the bad’ … and in order for that to happen, someone has to play the part of ‘the bad’ … so followers of Judas sects believe that ‘the bad’ has to exist in order for ‘the good’ to complete their work. ‘The bad’ sacrifice themselves to eternal damnation in order give ‘the good’ the chance to get into heaven.
All done under the watchful eye of an eternal all powerful being that can control time, matter and substance and has already predetermined everything and everyone in the universe.
Just FYI, I’m an atheist who’s against organized religion. This pope was still much better than most, in that he tried to help poor people at least, and he was accepting of most other people, even if he didn’t necessarily agree with them.
A leader like him mitigates harm that would be done under someone else. It doesn’t mean I like him. I just prefer him (or someone like him) to other options. It isn’t an excuse. It’s just the best option, not that any of us get a choice. Not even Catholic followers do.
