minus-squareStovetop@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27·1 year agoAs others have said, Francis also stacked the electors who will be deciding the next pope, so it is possible that his successor will also be just as progressive (well, progressive for the leader of a conservative religious institution, at least).
