Francis Allowed PiusX To Ordain Whomever They Wish

Bogle is a barrister in London. He counseled in the cases of Archie Battersbee (2010-2022) and Alfie Evans (2016-2018), who were sentenced to death by British courts, the latter despite interventions by the Italian and Vatican governments.
Francis "recognised" all PiusX sacraments, including marriage and confession, Bogle notes. In March 2015, Bishop Fellay was appointed a Vatican judge for all annulments and clerical misdemeanours in PiusX.
Fellay told Bogle in May 2015 that Francis had written him a personal letter allowing him to ordain "whomever he wants", without having to consult the local bishop. Bogle calls this not just a recognition but a "special privilege".
A member of the Order of Malta, Bogle believes Francis has "saved" the Order. At the 2014 Chapter General, a group of Germans were elected to the governing body and then tried to secularise the order by marginalising the professed members.
Francis stepped in and acted as a dictator, overriding all the Order's laws, codes and the Order's constitution. This led to the expulsion of the Germans by the representative of Pope Francis. Francis’ authoritarian and “frankly not legal” style worked in the Order's favour "almost by accident”, says Bogle.
As for Francis' desire to close monasteries, Bogle recalls a dissolved monastery in Amalfi, Italy. Its historic building was worth €80M (!). With Francis' knowledge, the nuns were told that they were being suppressed and had to leave the convent.
They complied. For Bogle, effectively tricking of the sisters into hand over their property was dishonest, fraudulent, and even criminal.
For Bogle, Francis is reversing some fundamentals of the faith and thus attempting to “destroy the Church”. But given his treatment of PiusX he calls him "self-contradictory" and a “complex figure”.
