It will not do, therefore, to point out that on occasion Francis acts like a Catholic, such as when he “excommunicates” some uber-liberal, or when he says we must preach the Gospel, or when he insists on being faithful to the Church or condemns abortion. This is simply an old trick of the Modernists, one St. Pius X exposed long ago
Even when he does the bolded, he isn't talking about the Holy Catholic Church. He is speaking of "the Church" as described in Vatican II.
