"ArchbFrancis' tactic has done a world of good for the church by diminishing the tendency to whisper campaigns, occasions for episcopal secrets, and cabal formations simply by letting criticism come out to receive the fair attention of the whole church."

How delusional can you get?  Bergoglio was already second to Pope Benedict in all 5 ballots of the 2005 conclave thanks to the machinations of the Sankt Gallen mafia composed of liberal cardinals like  Murphy-O-Connor, Kasper, Marx,  Daneels, etc.    The same cabal probably had a hand in the resignation of Pope Benedict, but they don't even bother to obscure the fact they campaigned more aggressively for Bergoglio in all 5 ballots of the 2013 conclave.
