Less than three weeks after the passing of his former ally, Ted McCarrick, Pope Francis has gone to his reward, such as that reward might be. I would suggest that we pray that God had mercy on him and granted him the grace of final repentance; else, his eternity doesn't look too promising.
Francis' chequered legacy includes (but is not limited to) these:
- the pachamama idol worship in the Vatican gardens and St Peter's Basilica
 - dismissing the pro-life champions in the Pontifical Academy for Life and replacing them with pro-aborts
 - issuing Amoris Laetitia that calls for admittance of active adulterers to Holy Communion
 - contradicting Tradition regarding the death penalty
 - hob-nobbing with abortionist Emma Bonino
 - dissuaded Tony Palmer, a protestant official, from converting to Catholicism when the latter expressed his wish to do so.
 - his vendetta against the Traditional Latin Mass, in direct disobedience to the Papal Bull, Quo Primum
 
I have a whole anthology of misdeeds of Francis', as do others.  I cannot list them all, as I lack both time and space.
In a few weeks' time, the process for selecting a new pope will begin.  Starting right now, we need to beg God to give to the Church a truly Catholic and capable pope, one who is "wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove" (Matt 10:16).  Ask God to give us a pope that we need, not what we deserve.
If you are not yet in the habit of praying a daily Rosary, now is a good time to start.
