I will repeat what I have stated before. Too many people found those who disagreed with previous Popes to be lacking in faith and understanding. They were judged to be lacking and were piously told to get with the program.

Now those same judges find themselves disagreeing with this Pope. But now, of course, it is the Pope who lacks proper faith and understanding.

Those who judged everyday Catholics before, judge the Pope now. They are, then, unwilling to be judged by the same measure as they previously judged others.

A grave error.

If you feel that this Pope has nothing to teach you and that he is all wrong and you are all right, there is nothing any of the rest of us can do but pray for your soul.

Let’s forget about what you, the author, or I think of this or previous Popes.

Just take a look at the writings of pre-conciliar Popes vs post-conciliar Popes.

Imagine a debate on doctrine between Francis and Pope St Pius X.
