Also, bear in mind that Pope Benedict– Francis' predecessor– was the first Pope to step down in ~600 years, rather than die as the head of the Vatican. So after the schism, and later after Vatican II, the legitimacy of the occupant of the Throne of St. Peter was further challenged when we arrived at the point where we have two "Popes" alive at the same time– "Pope" Francis, and "Pope Emeritus" Benedict. Btw, doctrinally speaking, the two men couldn't have been more different in regards to their interpretation of Church dogma. Francis' outlook, including his possible statement re: unrepented souls disappearing rather than going to an actual hell completely flies in the face of traditional church dogma, something that Benedict was known to voraciously defend. If you're interested in this kind of thing, look up a book called AA-1025, it is absolutely fascinating and shines a light on the communist and atheist infiltration of the Catholic Church that has brought us Francis.

I wouldn't count on it anon, I think the forces of evil finally have someone they can rely on to make enough gradual changes to church doctrine so as to not only transform it into something unrecognizable from 50 or 60 years ago, but to push away Catholics like myself who know something is deeply wrong from a spiritual understanding of things. It used to be that the Catholic Church was a pillar of moral authority that could be relied on to make strong statements in times of moral and spiritual distress, but that time has long since passed. Catholics need another Pius XII and a serious cleansing in order to restore faith in the church to those who maintain faith in Christ.
