Francis is pushing a schism. The press finally admits it

via Reuters:

the episode (appointing cardinals with little consultation) illustrates how Francis has used his own distinct management style to try to shake up the Church since his election in 2013.
He is keeping his cards close to his chest as he tries to push through a progressive agenda to make the Church more welcoming in the face of conservative opposition.

conservative opposition: Read those who defend traditions that go back to Jesus.

Interviews with a dozen current and past Vatican officials and aides paint a portrait of Pope Francis, a Jesuit who turns 80 in December, as eschewing filters between him and the outside world. He carries his own black briefcase, keeps his own agenda, and makes many of his own calls.

stealth bombing comments to upset believing Christians on airplanes with the press, meaning they will be publicized as Catholic church's new morality, when in reality they are just his personal opinion (the pope is not "infallible" in his off the cuffs comments, but only when he proclaims a dogma or moral belief with roots into the early church and usually held by the church's members for years without being officially dogma).

But most people don't make that distinction

In contrast, his two immediate predecessors, Benedict XVI and John Paul II, worked hand-in-hand with the Vatican bureaucracy, which is known as the curia.

Behind Francis’s approach is a clear mandate, received from the worldwide cardinals who elected him in 2013, to overhaul the curia. Over the decades the Vatican’s administration has collected some of the Church’s most orthodox officials, partly because of the lieutenants that Francis’s two highly-conservative predecessors called to their entourages in Rome.

yes, there are a lot of perverts and Masons and NWO types in the Vatican who tried to stop JP2 and Benedict in many matters, from cleaning up the lax bishops and heretics to getting rid of pedophile priests.

But Reuters says this pope has a "mandate" to get rid of fuddy duddies who still believe in traditional dogma and morals. Uh, not really..

and it then goes on to document how Benedict's papacy "unraveled". Again a lot of this is twisting the real story, of how the non believers who masquerade as Catholics in the curia,got rid of him in order to get rich, launder money, or what is worse, change the church into a social work NGO without all those nasty rules.

the follow the money part is found lower in the article when it discusses how Cardinal Pell, who was rooting out corruption, was accused of being too uppity, and then voila, they dug up an old case where he "knew" of pedophilia 20 years ago. That didn't stop the Pope with Cardinal Daneels, where it was actually proven he covered up incestuous pedophilia, but never mind. Daneels put the Pope into office, with the help of the other German bishops.

Said Schelkens in an interview this week: “The election of Bergoglio was prepared in Sankt-Gallen, without doubt. And the main lines of the program the Pope is carrying out are those that Danneels and Co were starting to discuss more than ten years ago.”
“They wanted Church reform, they wanted to bring the Church closer to the hearts of people; they moved forward by stages,” commented Mettepenningen. “At the beginning of the year 2000, when John Paul II’s end was becoming more foreseeable, they thought more strategically about what was going to happen to the Church after John Paul II. When Cardinal Silvestrini joined the group it took on a more tactical and strategic character.”
