That aren't Opus Dei (Anti-Dei) or part of the "MadRadTrad" movement.
Rubio hasn't quite stepped over the line when it comes to Church Doctrine, even though he skirts close.
As an Augustine Scholar, the Pope might think he can do a bit to redeem Rubio and maybe some of the US policy. I think he's probably wrong (the Pope isn't a Jesuite and Rubio is not Taunhausser) but hey, he's trying.
