Opinion | The War Between the Catholic Cardinals - The New York Times

Beginning with a bald declaration that the Francis pontificate has been a "catastrophe," the memorandum depicts a church falling into theological confusion, losing ground to evangelicalism and Pentecostalism as well as secularism, and weakened by financial losses, corruption and lawless papal governance. (On the climate within the Vatican, Pell writes: "Phone tapping is regularly practised. I am not sure how often it is authorized.") 

The other is a long essay by Pell's fellow cardinal, Robert McElroy of San Diego, that ran this week in America, the Jesuit magazine. It shares with Pell's memo a premise that the church faces debilitating internal divisions, but it argues that division should be resolved through the completion of the revolution sought by the church's liberals. In particular, McElroy urges the church to shelve any meaningful judgment on sexual relationships and to open communion to "all of the baptized," presumably including Protestants. Only this kind of radical inclusion, he suggests, has "any hope of attracting the next generation to life in the church."
