the good news is that he has installed countless Cardinals who will hopefully (fingers crossed) install a worthy successor such that there will not be any serious backsliding.

Yes, and most of Francis’s appointees think just like him, which is why he chose them. Pope Francis has been “stacking the deck” in his favor for years. I think his appointees now outnumber the cardinals he has not appointed, and several of the cardinals who preexisted his papacy have aged out of being able to vote. So, God willing, we will get a worthy successor.
