He also thinks that post-conciliar liturgical abuse has died out (a convenient fiction), that the Council still has another sixty years before it is properly implemented (maintaining wrongly that historians teach that Council's always take this long to implement and that a nun is acting like a Bishop.....all underlined below. His approach to cultures generally is uncritical, seeing only good- an impossibility since the Fall.
"Africa is original. Africa is a soup to be tasted".
Two days before his 86th birthday, Pope Francis receives MUNDO NEGRO in the private library of the Apostolic Palace. When we handed him a copy of the Africa 2022 Special, he quickly replied that he already had it and that he would consult it. He then offers to talk to us without delay. "Ask whatever you want.

I’m not Catholic so I don’t know the History of Popes.

His rubbish about there not being a Catholic culture is more of the same trash. He sounds like a fool.

Historians say that it takes 100 years for a council to be fully successful, so it's only halfway there.
So many things have changed in the Church, so many things for the better... There are two interesting signs: the first imprudent effervescence of the Council has already disappeared, I am thinking of the liturgical effervescence, which is almost non-existent. And anti-conciliar resistance is emerging, resistance to the Council that was not seen before, which is typical of any process of maturity.
A caller on the TV and radio show Called to Communion asked Dr.David Anders (evangelical who converted to Catholicism and now is a an expert on technical theological matters, asked:
“If any Pope becomes mentally addled and refuses to resign, due to dementia for example, is there any group in the Vatican who can demand he step down?”
The answer: “No. There is no group of any kind that can cause a reluctant Pope to step down.
