Pope Francis is notoriously unsympathetic to calls for the “reform of the reform.” But the logic of his August 24 speech points unavoidably in that direction. If we have not yet achieved the goals of the reform, and those goals were established more 100 years ago when the process began, we need to examine where, how, and why things have gone awry.

I think he means that he HOPES things will stay (as confused) as they are

but that is not how history works

just as he created change (increased confusion, whatever), each future pope will, if he wishes, exert an influence...
so that we can expect more changes (maybe good, or maybe bad, or maybe both)...after pope Francis

nothing any one person does is etched in stone forever, and certainly nothing pope Francis has done is worthy of such permanence (imho, of course)

hope springs eternal, we live for hope...stay tuned..

It means he figures the average Catholic is stupid enough to believe, against all Catholic teaching, that the Pope can overturn existing Dogma and Tradition and also so stupid that they'll tolerate their own Priests and Bishops going along to get along.

Whether he's right about that or not is a question left to the reader.

Bergoglio hates the Latin Mass. He’s on the verge of saying it’s banned forever in the Church. He probably can’t speak Latin so he hates it.
