3. The Catholic church had been losing people for quite some time, especially in the U.S and Latin America.

They chose the last pope, Francis from South America hoping to boost their numbers. He was considered liberal in his views. After his death the church needed for this to continue so they chose an even more liberal pope Leo. This Archbishop has probably been instructed to denounce this administration before they start losing more members from the Hispanic community.

This is just my opinion from a non-Catholic's perception. I think the Catholic church has a history of not practicing what they preach.
