  Times have changed in a lot of dimensions. To name 2: 1) we have an AI thing now, and 2) the pope is American and more trustworthy than all of our current top politicians of both parties. It's not like people are longing for times of papal authority, they're just looking for anyone at all with common sense.

    > more trustworthy than all of our current top politicians of both parties. Big if true. Has he addressed the previous rug sweeps about clerical child abuse?

      Iran should have a nuke. Might finally bring some peace.

        Wishing nuclear holocaust on the world was also a view that was abhorrent in this site 15 years ago.
        • sznio 4mo ago
          I don't think it would result in anyone getting nuked. It would result in an end to bombings on Iran.

    >and defends abortion before and after birth abortion after birth? as in, killing a newborm baby? what are you even talking about
    • throejd94mrdj 5mo ago
      Like defending people who dump babies into bins? Or throw them into river? Because it is not murder at all!

        You are beyond mentally ill. Seek professional help because you are losing touch with reality.

      Are you the HN police? Lol.

    Speculating, without evidence, that hidden forces are suppressing ideas that you prefer is low-value noise IMO.
    • booleandilemma 5mo ago
      Who said hidden forces? It's the capitalist overlords who are hellbent on replacing us humans with their machine laborers. For evidence, you only have to look at the mass of flagged and downvoted anti-AI comments on this site. It's not a hidden force at all, they're quite open about it.

        Please don't post grandiose conspiracy theories like this on HN. All kinds of criticism of AI is posted all the time on HN. Comments are downvoted or flagged if users disagree with them or if they break the guidelines. If you see anything that's flagged unfairly, you can vouch for it or email us (hn@ycombinator.com) to point it out.

  15 years ago it was Pope Benedict, who was a pretty different figure. I can speak only for myself, but I would have had more cynicism about him than I would for Francis or Leo.

  That past HN user would be more shocked that Chrome is not considered the second coming of Jesus anymore, to keep the religious theme.
