There is indeed a misleading image of the Church of Christ today and the wicked acts of Bergoglio that for many generate a reason for revolt and scandal, but it is the only way for the purification of many members of the Church, in addition to the survival of the Church itself.
I think that God shows over time in the constant evidences that the way is unique, although many do not understand it because they do not go deeper into it.
It is good to repeat always: Catholic doctrine teaches that being will be the same being; the Church will always be the same because there is no other Church; and Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 3:18); the Gospel will also always be the same. Therefore, the Cross will always be with us on our pilgrimage, there will be no other way than through purification on the same Cross.

The Apostolic Constitution Universe Dominici Gregis is a unique path prophetically prepared, which the Church will always be the same if the subordinates follow faithfully. The Constitution requires these same members to obey the authority of the Vicar of Christ on earth. It is a commitment to God on the path of our purification, with Bergoglio as a manifestation of the divine will and rescue of the good image of the Church. Because it is obvious that we are now being tested whether or not we will continue in continuity with the divine will in the Church, with the legitimate successors of St. Peter in the future, after the death of Benedict XVI.
I think there is no more time for ramblings, but to look at the contradictions about Bergoglio and the crisis in faith: everyone in search of only one truth which is the Cross. For all things work together for good (Romans 8:28).
God will be watching our correspondence to his will for our own salvation and for the good of the Church itself.
