Not to answer for Matthew, but I gather the "who are we to judge" concept most probably plays a role here.A) It is no secret these days that the overwhelming majority of people believe salvation (not conversion) is available for people in false religions, who could be invincibly ignorant (if that even applies anymore) through no fault of there own. Even though they die in their false religion they are saved by the Catholic Church and do not die as Muslims, Jєωs, Buddhists, etc...., and "who are we to judge" is the typical response when questioned.B) I believe the same principle is being applied to Francis, "who are we to judge" whether Jorge Bergogglio is the Pope or not?To remain consistent if anyone holds A as their belief then they have no reason to question someone who holds B to be true.However if a person denies A then by all means questioning someone who holds to B is a valid.
I don't think I've ever seen a more rhetorical thread title on CI. Our five-year-old knows more about the Faith than Francis.
