And of course, the opposition to Pope Francis is very tied to the alt-right.  Rorate Caeli's Twitter feed rotates between Tweets praising Russia, Tweets praising Trump, and Tweets whining about Pope Francis.  I suspect that Steve Bannon and Ray Burke are somehow tied and that Bannon would like Pope Francis, who he despises, to be deposed or at least sidelined.  Bannon is working to influence European elections in favor of far right bigots like Le Pen.  So it isn't shocking that Bannon/ Trump (and ultimately Putin) would try to install leadership in the Catholic Church that is more to their liking.
