Pope Francis is one of the top ten most admired men to Americans in 2020. Apparently he has been on the list since 2013. Some of the company seems rather contradictory. Not sure what to make of this, but at the very least it means people do not completely hate the Catholic Church, it would seem.
The list can be found here: https://news.gallup.com/poll/328193/donald-trump-michelle-obama-admired-2020.aspx
Apparently Pope John Paul II has been on the list quite a bit also: 29 times since it started in 1946. I mean obviously he would only appear there after he became pope. Higher than him however is Billy Graham who appeared there 61 times. This may have to do with the fact that Billy Graham was a public figure for almost 60 years, whereas the papacy of John Paul II lasted 26 years. So it seems about proportional.
