Bergoglio has gone so far off the boil that it doesn't even make news when he says that we should stop evangelising, or proselytising, words which he uses interchangeably. Ecumenism is his religion, that is when he has time left over from practising indifferentism and atheism.
I do not know much about most of the bishops on the list of Bergoglio's list of cardinal appointments. What I could gather was that none of the 3 American cardinals are actually Catholics, with passing knowledge of at least 2 of them and having looked up the last one - Tobin. At first I thought it was Bishop Thomas Tobin, which would have been a good appointment, but Joseph Tobin seems to be a totally different kettle of fish, a a rotten one at that.
So DeusExMachina thinks that the firing of some scandalous bloggers has more to do with the realisation by the National Catholic Register that earning a living from a dying gang - what he calls "ZombieChurch" - is a bad business modell.
