brilliant

That is truly awesome.
It also reflects something more.

Many old people are really "modern". They are ready to let old conventions go. They're old, and... fuck it.
I think that what's going on with our Pope. He's old; he doesn't feel a need to uphold the current convention. So...fuck it. I'll embrace the modern world.

Yeah agreed with the fact that old people can be wise and tolerant. Wise old people have wisdom, ignorant old people are ignorant. But I don't get this hype about the new pope. Gayness is not sin, but gay acts are. Well thank you! We express our sexuality and love trough acts. So we can be somenthing we can't truly express? So it's at the same time ok to be gay and it's not ok to be fully gay? That's moral conflict I think. And for letting old conventions go? More like trying please as many people as bossible while still being behind his time. We going in small steps now? I don't think people would agree if antisemite person says he accepts jewish people, but the jewish acts of religion and culture are wrong. His the word of God to catholics, his the voice of Gods hate and intolerance to me.

A agree with you - but I will say this - FOR A POPE, the new one is a step in the right direction. He's still a Pope, he still represents an organisation I find reprehensible, but ranked compared to his predecessor, he's a definitely improvement!

Sometimes it goes to show old ≠ wise, but in this case the grandpa is a wise man, while his daughter is not.
