I’m not a practicing Catholic (haven’t been since I was living in a Catholic Worker shelter as a kid), and Francis def said some things I disagree with here and there. But he’s also been pretty decent as far as the leader of global Catholicism goes. I do think current events might be killing him.

Like Christianity, ICP appeals to the downtrodden. One Harvard Divinity School alumnus stated that Juggalos are “a demographic ripe not just for populism but for a spiritual version of it, like that of Dorothy Day’s Catholic Workers.” They just took a different approach with “blessed are the poor.”
