But Vatican insiders say the pope prefers to try to change the church’s approach rather than start a civil war over doctrine that would distract from the church’s mission to the poor and marginalized.

Makes it sound as though the Church's social justice mission is paramount, while doctrine is just a pesky distraction to a community organizing "people's church" in which social outreach trumps the mission for the salvation of souls.
