But that’s just it. As the two books cited above prove, the time has come to back away from the reigning pope, if one aims to succeed him. After wringing out all the favors it could, the Sant’Egidio lobby has decided to put Francis on the shelf. The Church is burning, the flock is lost, it is time for a new pope. The two books trace his profile in their own way. Too bad that the aimlessness of both, on the real epochal challenges that the Church is called to face today, will not help him.

I’d guess they also back away from him any time there is a thunder storm on the horizon.

St. Francis of Assisi was told by God to "Rebuild my Church". In taking the name of Francis, Bergoglio attempted to rebuild the church in a way
not intended by God, and in fact has tried to destroy it.
The next Pope will now need to restore the Church.

The best next pope for the Church would be Cardinal Sarah.
