Look, the Pope seems like a really good guy 95%+ of the time, but nothing he says is that groundbreaking. It's overwhelmingly reflective of the Catholic Church's longstanding doctrine. The only difference is in the way he emphasizes and frames issues. I'm generally pleased about the issues he's bringing to the fore, but more than anything this is an excellent re-branding strategy. I don't mean that in a remotely cynical way, but it's a Twitter account specifically made to focus on progressive Westerners. Is it that surprising that it reads this way?
I also don't see what's hipsterish about this. It sounds exactly like plenty of middle-aged progressives I know.
Shh, let him have his fun.
