Habemus papam. Cartoon of 10/05/2025 in CTXT
Translation of the cartoon: "He is a progressive pope".
The papal torture that began on 21 April with the death of the 266th viceroy and the election of the next highest representative of God on earth is finally subsiding, thanks to the idem.
In these intense days of mass hysteria, cardinal's truncheons, jokes and tontolares, all sorts of filler irrelevancies have been seen, heard and read, but if there was anything laughable it was the alleged progressivism of Robert Prevost, the incoming Vicar of Christ and artist already known as Leo XIV.
Susanna Griso, in the intro to her morning show on Atenta 3, which can be called anything but news content, began by saying: "He is a progressive pope, yes, but with nuances". And I spurted out my coffee with laughter.
The right-wing has disliked the papal American as a continuation of the ideology of Bergoglio, whom the moron Milei called "communist","imbecile" and "representative of the evil one on Earth".
How can it be with the Pope's supposed progressivism that there are those who have to perform pirouettes to avoid offending anyone (without succeeding), such as Xavier Garcia Albiol, who stated in a tweet, which he later deleted, that if the new Pope is considered "progressive" for defending "greater visibility for women" or the recognition of same-sex couples, "welcome to him".
Progressive pope is an oxymoron. What some people are supposed to be trying to say is that this one is perhaps a micron less conservative than the common popes or papables. Not new in tontolandia, we have already seen this with John Paul II, who was also called "progressive" by "the press" and then ended up beatifying a Nazi collaborator and the like.
