I am absolutely terrified that this might be exactly what they do. I sure hope not.
Right, at least with Bergoglio anyone with the Catholic faith can figure out who he is and what he stands for. Ratzinger was one of the most dangerious and pernicious destroyers because he passed himself off as some quasi-Traditionalist. IMO, that was done deliberately. They rehabilitated the V2 Modernist in the media and using PR to transform him into "God's Rottweiller", a doctrinal arch-conservative because he administered a meaningless slap on the wrist to the likes of a "Hans Kung," an open heretic / apostate whose only punishment was to transfer to a different department at his university where he was no longer teaching in the "Catholic theology" department. No excommunication, no suspension from the priesthood, nothing. Meanwhile +Lefebvre and the bishops he consecrated were excommunicated so fast that the heads of the consecrands were still warm from Archbishop Lefebvre's hand. But he got in there, with this PR-created fake persona, spoke a little Latin, issued a meaningless
Motu that was just a sleight of hand, where instead of having the Tridentine Mass be forbidden unless permitted, it was permitted unless forbidden (resulting in the same practical difference except for in private Masses) ... and he nearly pulled it off until a certain Bishop derailed the entire thing by talking about the h0Ɩ0h0αx. So he was told to resign because he had failed in his primary mission, to re-absorb the SSPX.
