As much as the writer dislikes Protestants, he dislikes the bishop too. Perhaps even more (as he should know better). It is a wonder that God chose this bishop to be Pope! (I guess He didn’t consult with the author of this piece about it.)
God didn't choose the pope any more than He chooses the POTUS. We've had bad popes and good popes, we've had bad presidents and good presidents. A bad president doesn't mean we should start pledging our allegiance to a foreign flag just like a bad pope doesn't mean we bail on the Church.
