Is Francis II next?

The last decade has seen upheaval in the Church. It has been a decade now of scandal and division due to the doctrinal attack by Pope Francis on so many core matters of the faith.  There are so many to list, I won't even try. 

One concern expressed by many is that Francis has stacked the College of Cardinals and that we are bound to get Francis II. When this is said to me, I generally answer with this:

How did a College filled by John Paul II and to a lesser degree, Paul VI, give us Joseph Ratzinger and then, with its numbers added to by Benedict XVI, give us Jorge Bergoglio? 

I am not naive that we can have worse than Francis, but I am not convinced it is given. 

Monsignor Bux made some comments recently about the current state of the College of Cardinals and the Episcopacy.

Monsignor Bux: Pope Francis Must Urgently Issue Profession of Faith

http://edwardpentin.co.uk/monsignor-bux-pope-francis-must-urgently-issue-profession-of-faith/

The Vatican theologian says unless the Pope reaffirms Church teaching on morals, the faith and the sacraments, ‘the apostasy will deepen and the de facto schism will widen.’ 

In a forceful interview with Italian Vaticanist Aldo Maria Valli, Msgr. Nicola Bux has warned that the current pontificate is issuing statements that are generating “heresies, schisms, and controversies of various kinds” and that the Holy Father should issue a profession of faith to restore unity in the Church.

In the interview, published Oct. 13 but overlooked due to the Youth Synod taking place in Rome last month, the theologian consultor to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints said “heretical statements” on marriage, the moral life and reception of the sacraments are now “at the center of a vast debate which is becoming more and more passionate by the day.”

We are in the presence of a creeping schism

Question - The Remnant: hat do you think the ultimate consequences of this situation could be, if it is not resolved?

Answer - Msgr. Nicola Bux: It has been said by far more authoritative clergy that we are in the presence of a creeping schism: a non-Catholic thought has entered the Catholic Church, a thought which considers the Mass only as a banquet rather than primarily as a sacrifice, marriage as a human act and not as an indissoluble sacrament, talking of sin and grace as by now outdated, a thought preaching morals of mercy irrespective of conversion and penance, and so on. Isn’t it a way to liquidate the Church? The work of the Church in the world is the victory over evil and death; We must fear not primarily those who kill the body, but those who damn the souls to eternal punishment.

Pope Bergoglio corrected - Two forms of one Roman Rite does not equate with "exception!"

Pope's are not correct every time they spew happy water from their mouth or pass frankincense. They are not infallible on everything they say. This papolatry has done enormous damage to the Church,

I was personally insulted when the Bishop of Rome made negative references towards the traditional Latin Mass and those who attend it. I find him depressing to the point of nausea. His insults and arrogance is unbefitting of the Vicar of Christ and Bishop of Rome. 

What kind of Pope insults Catholics as this man?

St. Pio of Pietrelcina being "rigid' and "hiding something"

Now, none other than the great liturgist, Nicola Bux, throws a polite challenge:

FQ: Don Nicola, is the traditional Roman rite an exception?

Nicola Bux: That's  not what  the Motu Proprio by Pope Benedict XVI says. Rather, one reads explicitly that the two rites have the same dignity. This is what the Pope writes, not me. Therefore, we can not say with the document at hand, that it is an exception, unless one wants to come to a conclusion which is directed against the pope's document.
