As the teaching of Doctrine decreases, anthropocentric politicising increases
Anthropocentric politicising increases in inverse proportion to the decrease in the teaching of doctrine.
The more binding doctrine is undermined by subterfuge the more non-binding politicising is asserted to be magisterial.
It is the job of the Bishop to Teach, Rule, and Sanctify and, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia, this is the job of the Pope:
He is to be the principle of unity, stability, and of increase. He is the principle of unity, since that which is not joined to that foundation is no part of the Church; of stability, since it is the firmness of this foundation in virtue of which the Church remains unshaken by the storms that buffet her; of increase, since, if she grows, it is because new stones and laid on this foundation.
Francis refuses to do his job; worse, he is actualising his praxis in direct contradiction to the grave warning words of Pope Saint Gelasius (492-496) in his epistle, Licet Inter Vari:
What pray permits us to abrogate what has been condemned by the venerable Fathers, and to reconsider the impious dogmas that have been demolished by them? Why is it, therefore, that we take such great precautions lest any dangerous heresy, once driven out, strive anew to come up for examination, if we argue that what has been known, discussed, and refuted of old by our elders, ought to be restored? Are we not ourselves offering, which God forbid, to all the enemies of the truth an example of rising again against ourselves, which the Church will never permit….Or are we wiser than they, or shall we be able to stand constant with firm stability, if we should undermine those [dogmas] which have been established by them?”
Denzinger, 161
