“Except Francis is old and not going to live long.”
I hope you’re right, but I fear Pope Francis will last another fifteen or twenty years. Look at Castro: the guy just won’t die!
I’d be really surprised. The guy has one lung, and has even stated on several occasions that he himself doesn’t expect to be around for more than a couple years.
Even if Francis went full blown Hans Kung apostate, it’d be nearly impossible for him to counteract the bishops consecrated by JPII and BXVI. John Paul himself had almost 30 years.
With Africa, Asia, and other Third World areas becoming a larger part of the Church, the fake Catholics are getting choked out. Their window of opportunity is closed.
