“Most Catholics” are those that attend less than 3 times a year.

‘also noted that there are “young conservative clergy” who hold distorted views of Francis due to the influence of social media.’
Sure, Cardinal Sean, blame social media for informing “young conservative clergy” about Bergoglio’s bulls—t. Too bad we can’t have the good old days when “young conservative clergy” depended on their local diocesan newspaper for sugar-coated papal news.

The current papacy has done an outstanding job of reducing the number of Catholics so it may well be true that those who remain thinks he’s awesome.

"I personally deserve attacks and insults because I am a sinner, but the church does not deserve them," Francis said at the time. "They are the work of the devil. I have also said this to some of them." This is rich coming from Bergoglio since he works for the devil.

EWTN must be doing a good job of exposing Bergoglios heresies.

I’m proud of EWTN. Besides, their criticism of the Pope, when it occurs, is very respectful and focused on theological questions.
They are far more charitable than I would be.

This looks like it was written by the Vatican itself 🤪
“ the Catholic media empire’s attacks on Francis are not representative of how most Catholics view the pope”

Thou shalt not lie, O’Malley.
Someone is always having to cover for him.
