Kinda funny seeing the pope promoting decentralized systems, with the catholcatholic church being one of the most centralized hirachical systems.

Solid conclusion! I had seen headlines but never actually read excerpts of the Pope's encyclical. Much to your article's point, I suspect, I never would have expected the head of the Catholic church to produce writing and arguments so relevant to the current state of the fedi.
I read a fair bit of it, and I was surprised to see so many of the talking points I hear from some of the techy/sciencey people I most respect, just with a religious coat of paint. He's clearly got some pretty clued up people advising him, and is wise enough to listen
I thought the pope was talking about Defenestration, sorely disappointed
The church should keep its concerns strictly supporting orphans and windows--I mean widows.
Hmmm
Good lord stop glazing this man
