"Agnostics or atheists or secularists who listen to Bergoglio feel confirmed in their non-belief and certainly not called to conversion. Indeed, these characters (Scalfari is an example) draw from Bergoglio's words new conviction in their hostility towards the Church, hearing themselves justified by the Pope himself... While the Catholics who listen to Bergoglio increasingly conform to dominant secularist culture. Bergoglio's "mission" is therefore in reverse: bringing the Lord's sheep into the mouths of the wolves, that is, worldly Power."
