While Pope Francis was preparing "fundamental change" in the Church, there is " growing resistance to his brash nature." And not just in the Vatican, but also among bishops and Catholic groups around the world. There is also a "creeping nostalgia" detectable for Benedict XVI.

oh, please...there has been opposition to every pope elected....He’ll do just fine, stick with him...I think that he will be a no nonsense Pope who will eventually be pretty strict..
what color is the smoke now?
“Eventually” he’ll be pretty strict? What’s he waiting for?
Hey you waiting for him to tell you to obey Christ?
Here’s a good idea. Obey Christ right now.
I am still wondering why they made a Saint of John Paul.
That tells you everything you need to know.
There were Cardinals who wrote to the Curia/pope and presented evidence of why John Paul should never be made a “Saint”. It was ignored—not even presented. But since VII-—rules have been relaxed and ignored and protocol was not being followed since VII was an erasing of Catholic Traditions that existed for 400 years, Pope John Paul II did many very unCatholic things which made him look more like an anti-pope.
The quick “sainthood” is to validate the disaster of VII which destroyed much of the Church from within. There is a war-—with the Homomafia inside the Vatican. Fr. Oko writes about it. I haven’t noticed this “present” pope dealing with the smoke of Satan that Pope Paul VI talked so clearly about. The Homomafia must be winning. They want sainthood and validation of VII and their lifestyle.
No nonsense pope? You bet.
He’s already forbidden the Franciscans of the Immaculate from offering the Traditional Latin Mass. And he has halted the investigation of the goofballs, Kinky and Karmen, NeoCat movement and their kooky “masses”.
Are you certain about that?
Amen.
I imagine even St. Peter got his own share of flack, naysayers, heretics and jerks who wanted to tell the appointed fisher of men what to do.
Where have you been lately?

Thanks very much for the link.
You’re welcome. I’m sorry for my curt response. I thought the suppression was common knowledge.
surely you jest......
the church is 2,013 years old....what's the rush??
Alfred E. Neuman, “What? Me worry.”
Pope Francis, “Who am I to judge.”
terycarl, “What’s the rush”
See a pattern here?
Understatement of the year.
“who am i to judge”
Taking something the Pope said out of context is a real liberal movie. At least read his interview.
It wasn’t in an interview. It was a flippant comment made on an airplane to press reporters, something unbecoming the Vicar of Christ; it was more like something Obama would do.
