Francis Claims That "The Left Always Looks For New Ways"

In his interview book Dominique Wolton confronts Pope Francis with the blatantly false statement that the Vatican is "more severe" with leftwing liberals than with convinced Catholics, and asks why this is so.

Francis who himself treats Catholics with rigid severity and defends the old liberal ways and protects the liberal status quo, answers, "This is perhaps because the left always looks for new ways, while when the status quo is maintained, when rigidity is practiced, this does not constitute a threat and permits to live quietly."

I am not a supporter of the SSPX but considering how Archbishop Lefevre was treated and how many 'liberal' bishops have gotten away with all sorts of malpractice I can only say that the Holy Father is speaking from what he would like to believe and not what has actually happened. Under Paul VI the liberals got free reign. Under St John Paul and Benedict there were efforts to clamp down on the nuttier fringes, to replace the liberals with more orthodox men as opportunity arose but many there are many still out there. Now the liberals are on the rise again and the Church's Tradition and her Doctrine are disregarded if they are seen in any way to impede the advancement of 'pastoral effectiveness'. How one measures such effectiveness I do not know but popularity is not a reliable way. Infidelity to Tradition is no way to it either.
