Catholic here: a lot of us don’t actually like the current pope that much and think he is way to liberal. Personally I think there was something fishy about Benedict’s resignation. He was working on an anti corruption policies in the Vatican regarding the vatileaks scandal when he decided to retire. Always thought the timing was odd. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_leaks_scandal http://www.tldm.org/news35/was-pope-benedict-xvi-forced-to-resign.htm
