I dont understand why liberals started a love affair with the Pope, and now I don't understand

19. I doubt too many have started hating him

My own loathing and revulsion for any powerful organization which insists on perpetuating poverty, broodmare slavery for women, disease, overpopulation and death among the world's less fortunate simply because they want as many future tithers as possible and to not lose the breeding race with Islam, when they could do sterling work to prevent the above in 5 minutes by endorsing contraception, is certainly not of recent origin for example. Neither is it derived from Frankie Photo-Op's sly cultural and media manipulation. I didn't just notice in the last year that the church and its head were bigoted, corrupt and regressive to the core.

I think what changed, and is causing the more visible backlash that you are seeing, is that hordes of otherwise progressive DUers have bought the bullshit and think he's dreamy and different because he looks more avuncular than Benny Hitlerjugend and says a few contradictory and vague nice things about the poor and the environment (while doing his best to multiply the former and fuck the latter with the same stone). If any poster here said a fraction of the things he has about marriage equality or choice they'd be drummed out immediately, and yet he is lionized and can do no wrong to many here. You can't expect such cognitive dissonance and galling support for an avowed opponent of any decent human civilization to go unnoticed and unrefuted.
