"Francis is too heavy on the mercy and too light on the justice side of things"

Can't have too much of that mercy stuff going on, you know. People might actually come to know God.

James 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

[Secret Agent Man]

if you have no explanation and reality of the law, people won’t realize they need the gospel. the law shows you why you are doomed, and in this way, points those worried about their fate, to the gospel.

[Salvation]

While one is alive — Christ is perfect mercy.

At the moment of one’s death — Christ becomes perfect justice.
