Yep. This was a demolition of the Church planned by liberal traitors within it.

I decided this because I saw that pastoral measure well done by John Paul II and Benedict XVI was being used in an ideological way, to go backwards. It was necessary to stop this backwardness, which was not in the pastoral vision of my predecessors.

This statement right here is 100% pure distilled idiocy, and shows that Francis has absolutely no intellectual grasp whatsoever of what Benedict said and why Benedict did what he did.

The idea that the Church must "progress" and that "backwardness" is somehow sinful is at the very least intellectually facile. Given what this mindset is being used to champion, it's borderline heretical.
