From what I’ve seen elsewhere he appointed ~80% of the voting cardinals so there’s a better chance than usual that new pope will be at least relatively liberal.
Also kind of fucks with progressives, though. Lots of people would accuse them of racism when progressive christians critize a conservative black pope.
The frontrunning black cardinal is ultra orthodox who wishes to revert Francis’ decision on gays and abortion. It is entirely possible to be hated on by whites and liberal people.
e.g. because they actually agree with conservative catholic policies. It’s not necessarily clear to outsiders whether those accusations have any merit.
Nobody can’t change an institution like the Vatican in a few years, but I guess he tried.
Hopefully the new one will not be a conservative one.

Why would progressives accuse them of racism thoughI’m dumb, completely misread the comment

Progressives would be those accused, not accusing. Or is there something wooshing above me?
