Those of us who told the truth about Francis during his life, should continue to do so after his death. This is not vengeance, but an attempt to prevent the falsification of history.

Preventing falsehood within this Office, does immense good.
No falsehood should be tolerated.
I continue to pray for Pope Francis, I was thinking and praying for him last night, a benighted figure if there ever was one. One thing that is obvious from a safe distance was that he was in over his head and his decision making was poor. But there were also some things that were good, eg. love of the poor and outcast. The one highlight, and I think he will be rewarded in heaven for this, was The Year of Mercy, which brought great graces to the world. Strangely enough, he will probably become one of the most studied popes in history, he’s a gold mine for books and doctoral dissertations!
Let us not forget he loosed the bindings on McCarrick as well. His first quid pro quo.
The sex abuse scandal and the attitude of many clerics to dismiss the concerns of the faithful are part of the reason why the catholic church has had such an exodus to protestant denominations. Of course. Part of that could be that they just want to be able to sin freely with a supposedly clear conscience saying it’s okay to divorce and abort, but it is the number one justification I hear when asking people why they left the church.
By all means study the kidney stone of a pontificate – IF it leads to prevention of other kidney stones.
Otherwise, the messes are obvious. The messes need attention, not the late Francis.
