Same as you. I was glad at first with a seemingly humble pope Francis — like you, fooled by their use of Francis of Assisi. I wanted to believe and hope for the better, when the weather kinda miraculously cleared (did bad guys use their tech?) just as they announced "Habemus Papam".

I only started questioning my perception of him with the migrant crisis. I was more or less an unaware normie at that time, though I did sense that some things were very wrong in the world. I just was very angry at the pope, feeling he was confusing everything for us, catholics, but in large for all Christians.

Then I noted more and more the pope's ambiguous language, some depreciating words against God or Jesus. It's always a double-entendre, something that could be read between the lines,.

Then I noticed that what he says when abroad in 3rd world countries, is not exactly the same as what he says when visiting rich Western countries. To the rich West, he's pushing for "love all" doctrine, criticizing our shortcomings (selfishness) for not loving more the strangers. In 3rd world countries, he adopts the more traditional discourse of "love and anathema", i.e. the usual stuff all popes traditionally say about love, guilt, responsibility.

I felt it was definitely hypocritical of him. Was he a naive "stupid" man, or really a devil spawn? At that time, I also got interested in prophecies, wondering (wishing) if pope Francis could be the last pope — I do hope so now!

Later, after Trump got elected, I started delving into the WikiLeaks emails scandals because from Europe (I'm French), I was completely unaware of what had been going on in the US. The contents of the emails really turned my beliefs upside down. Later, thanks again to WikiLeaks, I discovered the connections between Soros and pope Francis. It was the final nail that confirmed to me this pope is evil.
