Below I highlighted how unhinged Mike Lewis of the blog “Where Francis Was” about Catholics who desire the older, historic liturgies of the Church. He stereotypes them in the most mortally sinful ways.
Lewis, in fact, has forgotten the Lord’s teachings about judging: “Judge not and ye shall not be judged.”
Of course, I in my most humble astute ways, have always pointed out that the greatest threat to the Church’s unity are the heterodox left Catholics, to include bishops, some cardinals, priests, religious and laity.
Specifically Germany and other Germanic countries are of the greatest threat.
This Pillar Commentary proves my astute, humble thesis:
The conference president Bishop Georg Bätzing has claimed the controversial text, issued during the papal interregnum, had been created “transparently in consultation with this dicastery.”

The Germans need a hard correction and the leaders of this cabal need to be exiled. I believe Francis didn't do it because, as I have said before, he agreed with them. Does Leo as well?
WPI has a blindspot resulting from their implicit "no enemies to the left" editorial line, and probably Mike Lewis's unresolved feelings about losing his job at the USCCB. They'll toss out the odd article criticizing the German bishops, and Lewis even had the temerity to post a criticism of the Holy Holy Holy Francis Who Is in Heaven's handling of the Rupnik case (not on WPI, that wouldn't do). This gives a veneer of handling challenges to the papacy from more angle than one. But the one angle they consistently prioritize is those horrible schismatic trads.

I suspect Pope Leo wants to work things out and correct the German Church without a public slap down, although I think that would be good. But, as you will recall, when the Crux interviewer asked him about Fiducia Supplicans, Pope Leo, as Pope Francis did, made clear that it was not a blessing for the union but for individuals and it was not a formal but informal blessing, not a liturgical blessing in any way. Then he called out those countries that are developing formal blessings and did so indicating this is not allowed.
