    Nah, some Catholica do. Some are pissed a Jesuit priest, among the most progressive of orders, is the pope.

    Also, his word isn’t as binding as you think unless he speaks ex cathedra, which no Pope has done in decades outside canonizing saints. The pope can say all he wants about gay marriage or global warming or whatever, it’s not binding unless he says it ex cathedra and it will be a cold day in hell before he does something like that. It would split the church apart immediately.
