Pope Francis appeared to give favored treatment to fellow Jesuits James Martin and Cardinal "Tucho" Fernandez. Former Jesuit Marko Rupnik has continued as a priest in spite of numerous sexual allegations against nuns:
Though I thought St Pope JP II and Pope B 16 were showing apprehension about possible incorrect declarations of marital nullity, Pope Francis EXPEDITED the processes.

Here’s an idea to bring about healing and peace: Let the “Dubia Cardinals” re-submit the 2016 Dubia (Amoris) and 2023 Dubia (Synodality) (Fr. Z's Blog, 5/9/25)
Joe Tevington is a proudly orthodox Catholic, a husband since 1986, a dad to two adult children, a grandpa to two, and a civil service retiree. He is a sign language fluent certified rehabilitation counselor with graduate degrees in deafness rehabilitation, religious studies/moral theology, & Christian counseling psychology, as well as a catechetical diploma and certificates in benefits planning and Catholic social ministry. He deeply appreciates Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human life and the sanctity of the transmission of human life, as well as how they are to inform us in our apostolates and ministries.
On much lighter notes, he fancies himself to be the foremost authority on his native Brooklyn, when it comes to architecture, cinema, geography, history, Italian food, stick ball, stoop ball, or wiffle ball.
