Francis’ revolution is simply the natural conclusion to the Conciliar Church’s agenda. Whether this destroys Benedict’s legacy is immaterial.

Francis is known to be a Marxist. His Bible is the writings of Teilhard de Chardin who was a fellow Jesuit. The agenda is similar in philosophy to the move by Richard Nixon to take the U.S. off the gold standard and to float the value of the dollar in paper money.----Benedict is not toally without blame in the entire context of the revolution. The posting states that Burke was "called to Rome" to serve the pontiff. I take exception to this interpretation.----I have two emails in hand from the Chancery of the Archdiocese of Saint Louis which state without hesitation that the now Cardinal Burke was "run out of town". He was kicked upstairs where his "mischief" could be mitigated. This was in August of 2008 just before the election of then Senator Obama as president.-----Pope John Paul II had attempted to minimize the influence of the left in the Church with St. Louis at the center under Archbishop John May who became head of the U.S. Bishops' Conference. With his death, John Paul II sent in Archbishop Justin Rigali from the Vatican to take control of St. Louis. Rigali even organized a visit to St. Louis by the pontiff.----Rigali was transferred to Philadelphia and received the red hat as a reward. Burke was then send into St. Louis from LaCrosse, WI. With the ascendancy of Benedict, Burke was seen as a liability for his criticism of radical left Catholic politicians in the Democratic Party. Pressure was put on Benedict and Burke was transferred with Archbishop Robert Carlson brought in from Saginaw, MI< to replace him.

It is difficult to disagree with the anonymous commenter:

For sure the Church would be in a much better shape had Pope Benedict XVI remained pope, but he was very much the exception and he did not do much to prevent ill-minded people assuming high positions. Bergoglio's rise to power was inevitable, and either he or someone almost equally bad was bound to become pope as soon as Vatican II took the diabolical turn it did, pretty much as soon as the council doors opened.
