Italian journalist Aldo Maria Valli describes the ten years of Francis:
To comment on the ten years of Francis’ pontificate, the words written by Demos (also known as the late Cardinal Pell) in the memorandum he wanted to distribute to all the cardinals a year ago would suffice: “A disaster in more ways than one, a catastrophe.”
Bergoglio has succeeded in the fine feat, that is possible only for certain particularly gifted individuals, of destroying without rebuilding. He was elected to bring fresh air. After ten years, the air is unbreathable. And the papolatry raging these days, on the occasion of the anniversary, makes it even more noxious.
In the Vatican it feels like Pyongyang, under a despotic, capricious and cruel regime. In an End of Empire atmosphere, spies and informers dominate the scene. But, more than plots, there are tremors. Everyone is terrified of coming under the tyrant’s gaze. Whether by conviction or a sudden outburst of love, to be noticed by the Prince is to be crushed in a deadly embrace. So, many prefer to play dead in order to be invisible.
Submissive journalists always ask him the same inoffensive questions and he always gives the same answers. Interviews multiply, but it’s a lot of copy and paste under the banner of mortifying piousness.
Meanwhile, the Catholic Church is in disarray (see Germany) and Peter, instead of acting as a rock, fuels confusion and ambiguity.
In this picture, it comes naturally to many to miss Benedict XVI, but it must be said clearly: as much as he realized the disaster, Ratzinger could do nothing against the drift, because he himself was part of the project of destruction. A project that has a name: Vatican II; and a precise root: Modernism.
Paradoxically, we should be grateful to Francis. With his intemperance, he has made clear to everyone (except, of course, those who do not want to see) what Modernism was aiming for and has finally achieved: to subjugate the Church to the world. If Benedict XVI, with his backward marches, managed at least in part to hide the catastrophe, with Francis everything has become clear: the fluid Catholicism advocated by the modernists has fully conquered the throne of Peter. In fact, the sermons coming from there are in every way similar to the discourses of the Freemason globalists. There is no longer any distinction. The welding has taken place.
Go here to read the rest.
On target.
As one man has said, and it applies to me as well, 10 years of “Franics” has made me a trad.

Amen, Magdalene. I was already on the way, simply by virtue of my curiosity about the history of the Church and the Liturgy. But this kidney stone of a pontificate, as our host quite accurately calls it, has accelerated the process. Sort of like a theological railgun. 😁
Francis has Created a False Modernist Church which is not in harmony with The Traditional Catholic Faith. I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian ☦️, we practice Traditional Catholicism. The Papacy has been creating innovation which in the context of The Holy Faith, is destructive. That which is Perfect, the Ancient, Right Believing, Catholic Faith being Established by Christ does not need to be changed. Reject the Religion of Francis, it has nothing to do with the Faith of Our Fathers. Embrace Orthodoxy, we ain’t perfect. We are a Living Church of the Ancient Catholic Faith.
