Opposition towards Francis is “completely unjust” and “always based on one or two phrases taken out of context,”
He repeats, “It is completely unjust how we treat Francis in our discussion.”
One of Ryś's points is worth considering, “It often takes a form of opposition between Francis and John Paul II, or Francis and Benedict.” But Ryś doesn't understand this criticism. He sees a chain of succession of the popes since John XXIII (+1962) going back to Vatican II, “This is a chain, and there’s no contradiction.”
He adds, “What we have is that each one goes deeper, but this is still the same line.”
