MSW is predicting that Pope Francis has permanently changed the Catholic Church, and that the Holy father's co-called reforms will never be reversed. But MSW also believed Donald Trump would lose to Hilary Clinton. As for "regalia" versus "simplicity", regalia goes when people get bored with it, and is replaced with simplicity. Simplicity will go when people get bored with it, and will be replaced with regalia. Overexposure, a real threat to Francis, will hasten the boredom. 

MSW also brought up Cardinals Burke, but he should be careful here. There is far more that unites a so-called progressive Pope with a so-called conservative Bishop than separates them. Pope Francis is much closer in thought to Cardinal Burke than he is to MSW and the dedicated readers of this particular blog. As for Mr.Trump going through the Catholic Church to get at migrants, he'll be only too happy to. Who is going to stop him?
