The jewel of Steve Skojec's piece on Bergoglio's stubborn and foolhardly twisting of Islam to defend it - and equally stubborn assault on the faith he claims to hold - is surely this:

I don’t know if Francis is aware, but there’s no charism of the papal office that makes a pope infallible when it comes to his interpretation of another religion. When it comes to a toss-up between listening to the people who are actual, Koran-carrying Muslims from the Middle East vs. a Modernist Jesuit in Rome who doesn’t even understand his own religious teachings, I’m going to go with those closer to the source.

Whatever qualms we may have with the statement - and I surely have one - one cannot dispute that Bergoglio is "a Modernist Jesuit in Rome who doesn’t even understand his own religious teachings". That statements holds true whether the "his" refers to the religion Bergoglio is trying to create, or whether it refers to the religion Bergoglio purports to profess.
