Bucy, what the fuck difference does it make to you? Honestly, you are probably not even a Catholic, so why do you care what stance the pope has on anything? Aren't religions supposed to be a bit conservative? Relativism would constantly shift faith to and fro, so it's impractical. That is not intrinsically a bad thing. They are a religion and they believe what they believe. I'd rather respect a religion that sticks with its supposed beliefs (even if it is mickey mouse bullshit) than change them because some assholes within think they know more than the central diety (which probably caused all the messes within spiritual religion anyway). I hope this pope outlives you, you stupid asshole.
