    He was very progressive by catholic standards
    He reintated dialogue woth other religions woth some rare ecumenic traditions. Gave some vote and new postions for womennever seen before but not all what was asked from him. He was very active durning the pandemic, more then offering prayers but offering real help. He was like “yes pray but do what the doctors say too”. Still he bailed out some fuckers but went hard on others so IDK, and also has some debatable past with the Argeninian dictatorship regime of the 70s.
    He tried to make the church more welcoming to all and less corrupt, you can have your opinions about it if worked or not but at leas was clearly different than his predecessors. This is a veedry boiled down version for sure if you want to have a better opinion there’s plenty on the internet to read about him.
