Francis will slam San Luis Diocese, Argentina, with his "mercy."
On December 5, San Luis Bishop Pedro Daniel Martínez, 63, was informed that Francis ordered an Apostolic Visitation to his diocese from December 10 to 13 (announcement below). It will be carried out by Maldonado-Punta del Este Bishop Milton Luis Tróccolli Cebedio, 55, Uruguay.
In July 2014, as a Montevideo auxiliary bishop, Tróccolli was closely involved in the Apostolic Visitation in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, which ended with the removal of the excellent Bishop Rogelio Livieres in September 2014.
Martínez is one of the few good Argentinian bishops. Only one month ago, he published a decree forbidding altar girls.
No reason was given for the visitation that was announced to Bishop Martínez only days before it will start.

The Dictator Pope strikes again ….
The last, Pope Benedict began this nonsense. He’s the worst pope ever. He liberized the Catholic Church. Altar girls, changed entire mass. Terrible. This one’s not much better but blame must be put on correct pope.
Ratzinger was super conservative so he’s not where you should be placing the blame. Most of the changes in the Church occurred in the 1990s and early 2000s under JP2. I think he lost a lot of his power to hold back the negative forces when his Parkinson’s got out of control. From what I can gather, there’s a lot of palace intrigue going on even in the Vatican.
The last time the Mass was majorly changed was 50 years ago, when it was changed from the Latin Mass to the Novus Ordo. Nothing's been changed since, except correcting some of the words of the Mass to be more accurate translations from the original Latin, which was a great thing.
As for altar girls, that started long before Benedict.
As Prince of Space says above, Benedict was extremely conservative.
