Pope Francis was a great pope.
He removed the necessity to get authorization from the Vatican in sexual abuse cases.
Allowed some women to vote in the Synod of Bishops.
Took a stance against death penalties.
Apologised for Catholic Church actions against indigenous Canadians.
Generally whenever he took a stance it was the morally right one.
The Catholic Church is still corrupt but Pope Francis was a great man.
