Benedict's death has certainly accelerated the aggressiveness
Vatican expert Politi: attacks on Francis will increase
Just after the death of Benedict XVI, more and more conservative bishops voiced their criticism of Pope Francis. Just coincidence - or is there more to it? In the katholisch.de interview, Italian Vatican expert Marco Politi gives his assessment.
Since the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, voices from the College of Bishops have been piling up criticising Pope Francis. Archbishop Georg Gänswein's memoirs, in which he reports on his time with Benedict XVI, contain passages that at least indirectly criticise decisions made by the pontiff. An article by Cardinal George Pell, written shortly before his unexpected death at the beginning of the year, expressed massive reservations about the worldwide synodal process initiated by the Pope. The Bishop Emeritus of Hong Kong, Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, expressed similar sentiments in an interview. And last week, a volume of interviews with Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller was published in which he criticises Francis' style of ministry in some places.

Huh, vast right wing conspiracy? Bergoglio is in full Hillary Clinton mode apparently.
ANTI pope Francis. Has never been the Pope, never will be. Evil cannot be the Pope.
Echoing Hillary Clinton and her “vast right-wing conspiracy” rhetoric?
imPopester
Yep
Anywhere I can sign up?
You don’t say this kind of rhetoric if you’re a conservative yourself. The Pope is an extreme left-wing fanatic according to this.
Reagan, Thatcher and the Pope brought the USSR to its knees.
The global communists realized they needed to destabilize all three.
South America was always a bastion of communism that was supported by local church leaders.
Get a communist pope and you will not have that opposition to deal with in the future.
Well good! But I suspect the “vast” part is wishful thinking.
But what the pope is doing is not a vast conspiracy?
Nonsense.
Bergoglio simply no longer has a sphinx-like Benedict to point to, purportedly endorsing with his silence every faithless Bergoglian act.
Pope Cankles.
For the most part, they have done so independently.
A notable exception was when four Cardinals formally sent the Pope five questions (called dubia) for clarity on ‘Amoris Laetitia’, which, to date, have received no reply.
To claim a "conspiracy" is simple deflection, if not projection. And certainly a poor substitute for thoughtful debate on the subject at hand.
Answer the dubia!
