Some will remember at this point Pope Francis’ strategy of “two steps forward and one backwards” but when a train travels at high speed, an abrupt braking can cause it to derail, putting an end to the journey in a dramatic way.

I find it hard to believe anymore like I did that Francis and his BFF Marx are playing Good Cop -- Bad Cop now that Marx has resigned, unless he's being moved to the Curia and this makes it look like a dramatic protest. I thought Marx would never do anything in his synod that Francis didn't approve of.

The whole thing is just weird.
