If personnel is policy, as corporate consultants proclaim, then two of Pope Francis’ most recent appointments reflect his goal to impose his vision on the Catholic Church at the expense of its remaining theological and moral credibility.
One is the new head of the Vatican’s highest theological body, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the new name for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The other, who is organizing next month’s World Youth Day, reinforces Francis’ globalist vision, which effectively denies the Gospel, as The Stream reported.
Both men will become part of the 21 new cardinals Francis will name in September. All but three will be eligible to vote in the next conclave that will choose Francis’ successor. Last August, the pope appointed another 21 to the College of Cardinals, 16 of whom could vote for the next pope.
Francis is laying the groundwork to make his revolution permanent.

At 86 and in poor health, Francis knows his time is short.
“If and when Francis is no longer pope, his legacy will remain strong,” Fernandez said. “For example, the pope is convinced that the things he’s already written or said cannot be condemned as an error. Therefore, in the future anyone can repeat those things without fear of being sanctioned. And then the majority of the People of God with their special sense will not easily accept turning back on certain things.”
In other words, the incoming head of the Vatican’s most important theological body expressed confidence that the pope’s revisionism will become the new orthodoxy. When asked if a successor will undo Francis’ work, Fernandez gave a blunt answer:
“No, there’s no turning back.”

Both Fernandez and Bergoglio grossly underestimate the "sensus fidei" of faithful Catholics. They are not lemmings following Bergoglio over the cliff he is rapidly approaching.
Ping
This pope is a disaster.
Hence the continual drumbeat of hate and disparagement against those faithful Catholics. Marginalize the orthodox and enthrone the marginal.
If there is a schism in the Roman Catholic Church who would be pope? Francis is not a moral man.
