It’s a very good and rather frightening article. Francis is clearly the Obama of the Catholic Church - an autocratic, self-obsessed, arrogant populist.

Referring to Francis’ failure to meet with bishops, while Benedict had long meetings with them, the author writes “In this way Benedict applied the principle of communion. Pope Francis, on the other hand, seems to be one who gives instructions, more than one who exchanges opinions, a man alone at the helm who is fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time.”

All this after an alarming analysis of the unpredictability of the current Pope, who seems to have no plan and just waits for a media opportunity to present itself so that he can rush forward and make some completely confusing statement of his opinion - not that of the Church.
