I named those who came to mind without digging up articles that mention them by name. But, hell, I guess I could spend the time to do all that specific research if I thought it was worthwhile, but it’s not.
I guess you think Francis is just dandy. I think he’s a marxist. Ye shall know them by their actions.
And what’s this “be very careful,” warning?
Finally, if it comes to a schism, and the Catholic Church breaks up along lines of social and economic theory, and it pits traditionalists against so-called progressives, then so be it. It’s like where we are as a nation: The leftists (progressives and their useful idiots, the liberals) and the conservatives are better off separating. We can’t live together in peace. What’s ironic is that we can live quite happily — and even thrive economically — without the leftists; but they are totally dependent on us.
I named those who came to mind...

I saw no names given. All you said was “Pope Francis, a whole slew of cardinals, innumerable priests...”
It seems to me that you are basically making political judgments (over a wide swath) and are not spiritually discerning at all. You also seem to be buying into everything the media/press is putting out there.
Did you read the articles that I linked? They are spiritually oriented. Pope Francis is not perfect. No human is...however he is definitely not a Marxist. Are you even aware of how he was ostracized by the dissident proponents of liberation theology in Argentina...and why? Do your read his daily homilies? Have you read any of his writings?
How often do you pray for our Pope, cardinals, bishops and priests (rhetorical question)?
