Pope Francis has already met with about 60 friars of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate Conception at the Vatican on June 10th earlier this month.

After the Franciscans had renewed their consecration to the Immaculate Conception with the Pope, they asked questions of Francis. The Franciscans of the Immaculate have been under an apostolic Commissar for almost a year because of "internal" problems. Even the Capuchin, Father Fidenzio Volpi, attended the meeting, says Tornielli.
Francis has been "well informed" in all matters. The Vatican expert, says he is following the development of the Order and expressed his appreciation to Volpi for his "work".
Due to the Vatican measures, about 40 of the 400 world's brothers have [requested to leave, per Rorate] left the Order. It's about half of the seminarians who were only under temporary vows, writes Tornielli.
With regard to the restrictions on the "Old Mass", Pope Francis does not want to stray from the line of Benedict XVI. From the question of rite there should but be no ideological confrontation, the pope continued. The members of the Franciscans of the Immaculate must obtain permission from superiors and the bishop, if they want to celebrate a Holy Mass in the extraordinary rite in a parish church, a sanctuary or a meeting house. [Since the legislation specifically says the opposite, it's difficult to see how this doesn't contravene, Summorum Pontificum.]

The pope is only 'well informed' by the dissenting side of the Order. But would it make a difference anyway if he knew both sides????
Of course, the Pope knows all the material information, and is clearly commanding the persecution/destruction. This wasn't a meeting, just a publicity stunt.
With our current President (Obama) he seems to say one thing and do another. But with the current Holy Father, he seems to say one thing and then say another. This is getting to be a very familiar mode of operation.
