Pope Francis could be ousted in ‘secret plan’ by Vatican hardliners appeared on www.telegraph.co.uk by The Telegraph.
Other prominent conservative critics of the Pope include Raymond Burke, an American cardinal, and Gerhard Ludwig Müller, a German cardinal and friend of Pope Emeritus Benedict.
Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, is also said to be among Francis’s critics and recently told an Italian newspaper that the prospect of the Pope resigning was now “more feasible” after the death of Benedict.
Pope Benedict surprised the world when he announced his resignation in 2013, informing, in Latin, a hall full of cardinals of his decision.
There are many in the Catholic Church who “dream of hearing those words again, but this time in (Pope Francis’) unmistakable Spanish (Argentinian) accent,” Gianluigi Nuzzi, a prominent Vatican commentator, wrote in La Stampa.
Even allies of Pope Francis admit there is a schism, if not a deep rift between conservatives and progressives at the highest levels of the Catholic Church.
“There are tensions, as there have always been in the history of the Church. It is not a monolithic block,” said Monsignor Vincenzo Paglia, the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, a Vatican department.
But others insisted there was little prospect in the short-term of Pope Francis throwing in the towel.
“He will resign if he is no longer able to deal with the challenges of his pontificate, but for now he keeps going,” said Walter Kasper, a German cardinal.
“For the moment he is not ready to step down. It is obvious that there is a clash between progressives and conservatives, but we need to keep up the dialogue between different points of view.”
