What’s shocking is that it seems that Pope Francis blatantly lied in a wink-wink nudge-nudge election campaign for the papacy. He widely told people that only a Jesuit can fix the Jesuits and their fixation with liberation theology. Turns out he believes in liberation theology’s Marxist zeitgeist. He also suggested he couldn’t imagine being pope because he would have to resign soon. And he heavily promoted the notion of collegiality in the conclave, only to become the ultimate autocrat.
Yes, the pope has always held complete autocrat authority. But collegiality meant that he hasn’t wielded that authority as power. But this pope seems power-mad.
