What’s really happening is that liberals-progressives are misleading themselves, deluding themselves, naively setting up themselves for a big and severely disappointing surprise and sense of grave betrayal. And when it becomes painfully clear to them that Francis isn’t what they expect, he shouldn’t expect much charity from them.

Yes, I agree, both on the who misleads whom and what will come out of this in the end. The Church might, perhaps, institute a program or two for the divorced and remarried Catholics and for the gay Catholics, in the spirit of charity and that would be just fine. There will be no sexual revolution in the Church. With all his double-entendres, His Holiness never said anything that materially deviated from orthodoxy on the matter.

The libs proclaiming love for Francis will be disappointed; if they think JPII (who had a disastrous papacy IMHO) was too conservative, they won’t get much more from Francis. If he deviated from God’s position on homosexuality, marriage, or a male priesthood (as revealed by God Himself and through Jesus Christ), he would be the last pope - there would be no more Church to speak of.
