I am not Catholic, so not an expert on Church politics. But from everything I read, it seems like the conservative Benedict was somehow pushed out to make way for Francis, the Marxist. In other words, the Church had a liberal coup.
Francis seems to be doing all he can to water down Church teach and move away from traditional morality into Economics (income inequality) and Science (Global Warming) in ways that boost the Leftist agenda. Now he is aiding the Muslim invasion of Europe. Francis is a danger to his own Church.
Preparing the way for the evil to come, perhaps? Not knowingly, but like all of us sinners frequently unaware of Satan's using us.
