Well, I read the whole thing carefully, and it doesn’t really say anything, except that there are disagreements among the Vatican insiders. Well, we knew that already.

I’m very disappointed at some of Pope Frances’s appointments. He has promoted some lousy bishops into key spots, he has allowed the troublemakers to run things, and he seems to me far too preoccupied with himself. Who cares if he lives in cheap rooms instead of the papal apartments? There are more important things to be done than constantly saying: “Look at me! Don’t I live a wonderful life of poverty?”

But, in any case, I don’t think this present article says anything except that there are vague discontents about the Pope from all sides.

Oh, yeah. It just voices the disagreements in concrete terms, and as coming from the Curia itself. It was easy to dismiss the off-the cliff SSPX critics because we’ve seen them criticize any pope at all.

I also found the diagnosis of internalized Buenos Aires interesting, and it rings true to me.
