Fired trusted servants who served under the previous popes and surrounded himself with assistants who want to legitimize same sex relations.
Promoted James Martin, a same sex advocate, to communications consultant to the Vatican's Secretariat for Communications. He also met with him privately for 30 minutes without any clarification and sent him an encouraging letter.
Appointed many Cardinals who have publicly made statements that are broadly interpreted as an attempt to move towards the legitimization of same sex relations and a host of other agendas that are foreign to the faith, and who will continue to vote for popes and agitate long after he is gone.
Trusted the now disgraced Cardinal McCarrick, to negotiate a deal with China which marginalized and isolated the faithful underground Catholic Church in China from the Vatican.
He has called synods, not to explore open questions, but to legitimize foregone conclusions, pushed by the German bishops, which are contrary to the teachings of preceding popes and the deposit of faith.
Introduced changes through ambiguities such as the famous footnote in AMORIS LÆTITIA, which has been interpreted by some bishops conferences as opening the the door for communion for divorced and remarried Catholics who had not received an annulment, which John Paul II clearly determined to be inadmissible.
Allowed the firing of all the professors at the John Paul II Pontifical Theological Institute for Marriage and Family, and replaced them with those who have an agenda that is almost 180 degrees in the other direction, including contraception. The new person in charge has a history of gay friendly incidents.
Has held papal audiences and has bestowed honours upon advocates of abortion, same sex marriage, couples living together before marriage, trans couples, without encouraging them to return to the truths of the Church, and with no sign to the faithful that these choices are inconsistent with the Catholic faith.
He characterized traditionally minded Catholics as rigid, impractical, stiff and unloving. He has leveled particular criticism against young traditionally minded Catholics.
Pope Francis said weird things on plane trips, such as
"Who am I to judge?" regarding his appointment of a Vatican Bank official who was reported as acting out sexually with other men
Condescending comments about large Catholic families, "Catholics shouldn't breed like rabbits"
The Vatican confirmed that Pope Francis was approving use of “the contraceptive or condom” in certain cases during an in flight press conference when discussing the Zika virus
Said he's not afraid of schism, which is particularly weird because the terrible Vatican deal with the Chinese government which delegitimized the faithful underground Church was justified to "prevent a schism"
Francis welcomed dialogue with those who don't agree with tenets of the Catholic faith but ignored or ridiculed those who believe and adhere to the Catholic faith in ways that differ from his ideas. He has pushed them out of his circle of influence.
Signed Abu Dhabi declaration that "God wills other religions" without clarifying the difference between God's active and passive will.
Francis espoused a tired old liberal interpretation of the story of the loaves and fishes which proposes that Jesus encouraged people to share what they had, rather than multiply the food.
Granted ongoing interviews to an atheist friend journalist who continues to quote the Pope in ways that are a scandal to the Church. These quotes include the denial of the Trinity, denial of the divinity of Jesus, and the denial that hell exists.
Francis changed the Catechism to say the death penalty was "inadmissible". But he provided it with the same conditions as previous popes (1. Increased awareness of the dignity of the person, 2. new understanding of penal sanctions, 3. more power to the state to protect the public from the offender). Francis condemned life imprisonment which runs counter to John Paul II's reasoning for avoiding the death penalty.
Questioned Israel's decision to build a wall which reduced the bombing of its citizens significantly, by stopping his entourage on the Palestinian side and putting his hand on the wall and praying as if to ask God to knock it down.
Got into climate change science in an encyclical without acknowledging in the same document, that it is being used as a tool to promote contraception and abortion on the 3rd world. We would have preferred he stick to general statements about caring for creation.
He spoke about neglect for old people as the greatest social ill, and said the Church has to find a new balance and not talk so much about abortion, gay marriage and contraception. We're wondering what Church he's been attending because we'd love to hear more pastors preaching to the flock about the problems with abortion, contraception and same sex activity.
Pope Francis blessed Amazonian 'Pachamama' idols, which represent the Incan fertility goddess. He recognized the controversial objects as Pachamama, attended an opening service where Amazonians prostrated themselves before the idols in the Vatican Gardens. When they were removed from a Church and thrown in the Tiber river by scandalized Catholics, he apologized to the Amazonian people and said the police retrieved them. There was no apology to scandalized Catholics around the world for allowing syncrenistic services and pagan idols into the heart of the Vatican. To put this in perspective, many martyrs have gone to their deaths for refusing to do the very thing that was done voluntarily in the presence of the Holy Father.
The Pope's final exportation of the Amazonian Synod was mostly good, but then told everyone to go read the synod document which had tons of issues.
He has given uneven treatment of erring liberal factions and traditionalist factions with preferential treatment and encouragement of liberals, which may fuel schism by traditionalists.
The forbiding of the Traditional Latin Mass was largely seen as a hostile move against conservatives rather than an attempt to unify the Church. If he wanted to unify the Church he could have stopped feeding liberal activism in the Church and the Vatican, instead of coming down hard on traditionalists who are reacting to what they see in the Vatican.
He has fed into the COVID 19 vaccine mandates by saying Catholics have a "moral obligation" to be vaccinated for the "common good". This is dispite the use of aborted babies in the development and/or testing of the vaccines, many side effects, 99.5% survival rate in the unvaccinated, natural immunity in those who have had it, and the resulting herd immunity. The Catechism of Catholic Church gives each Catholic freedom of conscience in medical procedures. The Church has previously expressly instructed the faithful to resist any medical vaccine that involves aborted fetuses.

No, I'm not from the south, and I'm fairly certain that the vast majority of Christians wouldn't take intercessory prayers as on par with the f word.
