They're like the perfect foils for him. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 child) The pope is a jesuit. They usually are scholars and work in science. The pope is a chemist. Jesuit schools teach evolution and all that.
