What's going on with Pope Francis and the Catholic Left in the Vatican these days appears at first glance to be a near mirror-image of what's going on with the American Political Left, after the successful challenge and ultimate triumph of President Elect Trump.
And that is, of course, that they just can't handle it. They can't even be talked off of the ledge. They just keep getting nuttier and nuttier, flailing about for some way to get back in control of public information.
In both cases, it appears that "alternative news" is a major factor. Journalism is no longer a tightly controlled tool of the elites. So we see websites, social media, talk-radio and upstart independent networks being roundly demonized under the tile of "Fake News", when the fact of the matter is that "official" journalism has been a propaganda tool of the Left since at least the 1920s. It's the "Official" news that is most "Fake", and everybody knows it now.
Apparently that same sort of thing has been going on within Catholic journalism, and the powers-that-be are equally upset that the public is now getting a different story than the carefully crafted one they would prefer to be published.
Pope Francis has admonished the press and warned journalists against "infatuation with scandal". He warned that journalists not toeing the establishment line might be tempted toward "coprophilia" (sexual arousal by encountering excrement) and hence onward to "coprophagia" (actually eating excrement).
Where did he learn to even think such things, let alone speak them?
The mood at the Vatican has changed dramatically, to match the angry, somber mood of the Pope himself, since the delivery of the Five Dubia. Journalists are now cut off in mid question, and allowed only one question, and answered in terse and even rude manner by the now ranking Cardinals, who are all "Spirit Of Vatican II" Cardinals.
All the recent Bishops being appointed Cardinals are the most wildly unorthodox radical liberals, including Cupich, Farell and McElroy. Pope Francis appears to be stacking-the-deck with unorthodox Cardinals, perhaps to undo the work of the late St. John Paul the Great in raising the most conservative Bishops to the rank of Cardinal.
Life Site News reported on some of this at Climate Of Fear, noting how many Cardinals, Bishops, ranking Catholic laymen and journalists are now afraid to speak "on the record", or even at all, about the Dubia. So many have been demoted or transferred to "exile" positions, and so many threatened, that nobody even wants to encounter anyone who wants to investigate what's going on. Real journalists are avoided.
Cardinals are being openly attacked by other Cardinals for merely speaking their minds. For example, quoting from Climate Of Fear,
... retired Roman Catholic Greek bishop Frangiskos Papamanolis ripped the four cardinals for committing the sins of “apostasy” and “scandal,” saying they receive Holy Communion “sacrilegiously” for raising concerns about the pope’s document. Then there was very liberal Cardinal Cupich's response that the four holy cardinals are "in need of conversion".
This is dictatorial control even of discussion, and censoring of reasoned arguments supporting Revealed Truth, even to the point of calumny.
And it is open discrimination against true journalism, even to the point of demonizing true journalists, as excrement eaters, of all things.
What ever happened to "Who am I to judge?"
This is judgmentalism at its most extreme.
It would appear that Pope Francis and the Vatican Establishment share President Obama and the Washington Establishment's blind hatred of freedom of the press and freedom of speech, open discourse and reasoned discussion. And public access to Truth.
Could it be that they hate Truth itself?
Just asking.

Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and
Broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in
thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life:
and few there are that find it! Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

While
Popes enjoy the charism of Infallibility when teaching on faith and
morals, as established in the unchanging Deposit of Faith, they remain
human, and imperfect, as was Peter and the original Apostles. Popes can
err when not teaching on faith and morals, and whenever
speaking on matters outside the Deposit of Faith. Two of these areas,
particularly troubling in these days, involve Papal favor shown to areas
of Godless Marxist ideology, and to the belligerent, invasive,
domineering and menacing false religion of Islam.

Do we have a Diabolically Controlled Pope? Every time he opens his mouth, he makes himself a fool.
The Dubia Aftermath shows that Pope Francis still doesn't get it. Non-response to the Dubia means a Warning; non-response to that means a second Warning, and finally, a non-Pope Council to depose the Pope.
