According to Koch, the popes were always criticized, however, with Francis the fractions have shifted,
“The former popes were criticized by the progressive wing but now it is the traditionalist [= Catholic] wing that has its problems with Pope Francis.”
Koch stressed that Francis "likes it a lot to be pope."
The cardinal was told by some Argentinian priests: “We have never seen Jorge Bergoglio happier than now that he is Pope.”
