In case we need reminding that a huge source of opposition to attempts to reform the Catholic church, especially under the current pope, is right-wing Catholic megadollars in the US.
Loup Besmond de Senneville reports on a secret meeting of Catholic bishops and cardinals that took place at a posh hotel in Prague in September, ostensibly to organize against the bogus threat of "gender ideology."
But the subtext of the meeting is clear: they see that Francis's days are numbered and are already organizing to try push through a hard-right successor. Gender issues are a useful tool for dividing the church and keeping it on the straight and narrow in its social teachings, especially about wealth and capitalism — the real issue that concerns the US right-wing megadonors spearheading the attempt to undermine Francis.
