Below please find a recent National Review column by George Weigel, The Great Catholic Cave-In that Wasn’t. It is precisely what one might expect of this icon of neo-conservatism; a disjointed quasi-defense of the indefensible and a veritable “All’s well!” in the face of the Church’s auto-demolition.
Weigel’s words are in bold.

No, the real issue is, and will remain, just how far Pope Francis is willing to go in order to marginalize those who dare to think and behave and teach as true Catholic pastors of souls, that he may make straight the paths that will lead to the church-of-man that he so clearly desires to construct.

Great article. Thanks for posting.
What Weigel says is certainly correct - as far as it goes. But I think he’s suffering from what we might call the “normalcy bias,” that is, thinking that this will go on rationally and normally as usual, and not recognizing this act of rebellion and potential schism for what it is.
It’s not going to go away, especially since the Pope seems to be supporting it. We need to take this seriously and deal with it now, not just tsk-tsk and say that all will be well in the end. He’s just like the US government with Ebola - denying that it’s happening, denying its seriousness, and denying the potential for grave harm. Meanwhile, we can all see what’s going on.

You apparently didn’t read this particular article.
Not atypical of your reactionary posts.
Thanks
