The irony is that Francis was a martyr to anti-Communism in South America. The pro-Communist Jesuits hated him for denouncing Liberation Theology (Marxism with a Catholic façade), and demoted him to running a parish in a small, rural town. JPII heard about him and made him Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
Francis also preached against same-sex "marriage" and so forth in Argentina, saying the campaign for it had its origins in hell.
Somebody must have switched brains on him, or there is an equivalent to “Potomac Fever” in Vatican City.
