The Pope is listening to the people he has picked personally and in many cases even brought to live at the Vatican, where they can whisper in his ear. And he picked them in consonance with his wacky beliefs, so he is listening only to what he wants to hear.
He had a pattern, in Buenos Aires, of exiling those who didn’t think like him to the farthest corners of the diocese.
His “humility” is a POSE. He’s a complete phony.
