Pope Francis has confirmed Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo as the Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, although he is over 75 and has held his position since 1998. Sánchez is a radical relativist.
In June Francis dismissed Cardinal Müller as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith with the argument that he no longer intends to prolong roles in the curia beyond five years.
This has turned out to be a falsehood. Other leading liberals like Cardinal Tauran, Cardinal Ravasi or the Dean of the Roman Rota, Monsignor Pinto, have since completed their five-year-term and Francis is keeping them them in place.
