So the question is, are there any Christians in the college of cardinals? Are there enough to regain control of the church structure?

In the article:
Russia Will Punish the World - 3rd Secret of Fatima Revealed
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/10/russia-will-punish-world.html
you find this paragraph:
Pope John Paul II said to a group of pilgrims in Fulda, West Germany, in November 1980, speaking about the secrets of Fatima, that: “We have to be prepared to suffer, before long, great trials which will require of us the disposition to sacrifice even our life for Christ. Through your prayers and mine, it is still possible to diminish this trial (predicted at Fatima), but it is no longer possible to avert it, because only in this manner can the Church be effectively renewed. How many times has the renewal of the Church been brought about in blood! It will not be different this time.” (http://www.fatima.org/thirdsecret/fulda.asp).
Christ was crucified 2000 years ago for the redemption of the world. This time the Body of Christ, the Church, together with her head Christ, will be crucified in this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24.21).
The four cardinals are like the St. John Fisher’s for today. As written in the article: “The four cardinals only asked for clarity in the teaching of the Church for the true good of souls!!!”
“Only a blind man can deny that there is great confusion in the Church.”

An interview with Carlo Cardinal Caffarra about “Amoris Laetitia”, the reasons for the dubia, criticisms of the 4 Cardinals, and “the division among shepherds”
Bologna - “I believe that some things must be clarified. The letter - and the attached dubia - were reflected on at length, for months, and were discussed at length among ourselves. For my part, they were prayed about at length before the Blessed Sacrament.” Cardinal Carlo Caffarra starts by saying this, before beginning a long conversation with Il Foglio on the now famous letter “of the four cardinals” sent to the Pope to ask him for clarification in relation to Amoris Laetitia, the exhortation which summed up the double Synod on the family, and which has unleashed much debate – not always with grace and elegance – [both] inside and outside the Vatican walls. “We were aware that the action we were taking was very serious. Our concerns were twofold. The first was not to scandalize the little ones in the faith. For us pastors, this is a fundamental obligation. The second concern was that no person, whether a believer or not a believer, should be able to find in the letter expressions that even remotely could appear in the slightest lacking in respect towards the Pope. The final text, therefore, is the fruit of quite a lot of revisions: texts [were] revised, rejected, corrected…”
“The problem in the footnote [351] is the following,” argues Caffara: “Can a minister of the Eucharist (usually a priest) give the Eucharist to a person who lives more uxorio [as husband and wife] with a woman or man who is not his wife or her husband, and does not intend to live in continence? There are only two answers: Yes or No. Anything else calls into question that Familiaris Consortio, Sacramentum caritatis , the Code of Canon Law and the Catechism of the Catholic Church answer No to the aforementioned question…”

In short, we know who wrote the final chapter of the story, God. But before we arrive to the resurrection, the Body of Christ must pass through the crucifixion, and true Christians will be asked to even offer their lives, as Christ did for us, in this purification of the Church, as John Paul II told us.
