8. Other: I despise and loathe the corrupt, bigoted, medieval institution he heads.

It lauds misogyny and homophobia. It has brought untold misery to women and the planet for centuries. It has literally raped and pillaged the world. It has enslaved females. It is secretive and oppressive. It is based on idiotic primitive mythologies intended to make humans compliant with church poohbahs and dampen any shred of reason. It sickens me that "progressives" still support the RCC, aka Grifters R Us.

Yes, this Pope is better than the last one, but that's not saying much.
