He’s like a more moderated Francis. Very much a bureaucratic centrist within the Vatican, but he still supports a lot of the Francis style reforms.

So we’re not going back to papal conservatism, but it’s not like we’re going to push further than Francis.

So basically the old vatican with some vaguely liberal messages.

(In most contexts I’d hate him, but given the overton window of the catholic church well… he’s somewhat good).
