Francis not the liberal Pope the world is keen forJavier Milei, who is very likely to be elected president of Argentina in the October election, is fairly frank in his view of Pope Francis, a fellow Argentine. He calls Pope Francis "a Communist turd" and "the representative of the Evil One on Earth". Pope Francis gives as good as he gets. But it's actually more complicated than that, because the "liberal" Pope of today was not so liberal when he was starting out back in Argentina in the 1970s. Pope Francis is a more mature and less ideological man than the old Bergoglio -- but he's still combative ideologically, and he's still confused.
