Notice that everyone who is defending the Pope hates Catholics and would prefer that they all died in a fire.
Reform must begin with rejecting the new Phariseeism, with a claim of moral authority for the ancient Church, not the latest hip fashions.

The things you are talking about are bad, but the Pope is not doing those things. You seem to think that if a person advocates something (like environmentalism or sympathy for refugees) that liberals also tend to advocate, that makes them a liberal. It doesn’t.

The pople engages in a public display of Progressive virtue, when accused of Christian sin. This is phariseeism and a repudiation of Christian virtues. By responding "Global Warming" to "Homosexuality" the Pope burns incense to Caesar.

The Church does not need to be protected from modernity. Once we finish reforming the Church, to correct the errors that have led some of its members into sin and heresy, modernity will need protection against the Church! The Church’s mission is global and universal.

In some areas the Church is antimodern, but not in all areas. In some areas the Church is rigid and conservative, but it also places great importance on mercy, humility, and helping the poor. It’s a complex thing—more complex than what you are asking for.

It sounds like you want an antimodern, reactionary moral code to live by, but you can do that without the Church. Or you want to use the Church as a vehicle for that philosophy (like Charles Maurras tried to in France). But the Church won’t allow itself to be used like that.
