Well, that is simple. You know many rigid and classical christians from fedi and the US, but in most of Europe, the hippie Christianity is the common form.
And pope Frencis is the peak "let's be kind to each other, troons are gods childern as well as muslims are" christian. So, I don't think it was malicious or fake praise. It was just a natural result of the constant push for progressive new world order... -_-
