Do you mean Victor Manuel Fernandez? Seems like he didn't handle allegations a pedophilia on account of one of his underlings very well, but that makes him a bad leader.

Although... it's not an easy thing to handle. I once volunteered in a team that taught small children and there was one person who crossed the line during my time there. (I never witnessed any of it). It wasn't so bad that police had to get involved. No touchy stuff, "just" bad words. But it was bad enough that we had to fire the guy and blacklist the guy and have a few meetings with parents. By the way, we would have involved police if parents wanted, but they didn't.

As an organistion, you're wholy unprepared to handle ith this situation and it always catches you by surprise. So of course we did not fire the guy immediately. Than it happened again and we were better prepared and fired the guy after a rough talk.

The curch is not a small organisation and should have already had procedures in place for that kind of situation. But the cardinal himself and his constituency (or what you call it) is much smaller and it may have taken him by surprise as well. It's only human to make mistakes in a situation like this. He even admitted his mistake shortly after.

Yet shitty news site. I even clicked "allow the cookies" and I still couldn't read the article because of some other pop up demanding my email adres.

Francis allowed gay marriage and gay priests. He opened the church to criminal investigations when there were allegations of fraud. He got vaccinated against covid and encouraged everyone to do the same. He encouraged people to take climate change serious. He was very connected with poor people and immigrants, didn't live in a palace.

He wasn't perfect, but better than his predecessors. He still denied transgender people and was not very proactive on allowing gay marriage. He spoke against sexual abuse in the church, but effectively did not do much about it. He claimed a zero tolerance, but did not practice it. He was very outspoken against abortion.

All in all he put the church on a more progressive and modern path and that's a good thing. I also think the church is bullshit, but they influence a whole lot of people, so it's good if they follow a less evil path. Don't let perfection be the enemy of progress.

Its a good pope. He will likely be continuing the progressive course of the old pope

This is the kind of art I would pay for if I was rich

Yes

This is fake?

I cut my blackberries every two years, except for some main branches that cover the hedge between my garden and my neighbour. It gives a good coverage during the winter when the hedge looses some thickness.

The fruit yield, mostly. I think it might grow up to three full sets of blue berries in a year. Also it is very easy to maintain and delicious.

I also have black berries, which have the same properties. But they're thorny and grow everywhere you don't want them.

Blue berries, though guess it's technically a bush, isn't it?

Same, never had trouble sleeping. Now I'm lying awake worrying about life, the universe and everything.

I get confused sometimes

I've wondered the same thing when I was twelve, but eventually I grew up to realise that it was a stupid question.

Was this joke inspired by the movie "Yesterday", where all but one person forgot every song by the Beatles?

Dad's, dogs... what's the difference?

Compared to Boomers, maybe...

I feel bad for kids these days.

What you can do is take all the trees and put them in a tree museum and charge the people a dollar and a half to see them.
