This seems to be a recurring theme with this new Pontiff.

Every time the Pope says something, someone in the Vatican comes back and says the Pope really didn’t say that. Here was what he really meant.

Who exactly is doing the interpreting for this Pope? The same fellow who was doing the sign language at Mandela’s funeral?

“This seems to be a recurring theme with this new Pontiff.

I think the inaccuracies and false statements are primarily the fault of the media. I have seen times when Pope Francis has issued written statements and the media summary was completely different from the theme of the original text.

The media want to interpret Pope Francis as saying what they believe he should be saying.
