In his trip to the Philippines, Pope Francis once again defended marriage, and he again edged closer to a firm, unequivocal papal statement against same-sex “marriage.”

How do we know he's not being mistranslated?

If you read the CNA link within the OP, he never comes out (heh, no pun intended) and says “gay marriage”. It is the Vatican spokesperson that says Francis is referring to “gay marriage” in part when he says “new ideological colonization”.

It's kinda funny.

After every boneheaded statement he makes, the folks rush out to say that we just don't the context, and, when that doesn't work, tell us that somebody mistranslated.

In the latest episode, nobody is claiming a mistranslation or missed context, but they are adding words -- "gay marriage" that aren't there. Was the pope talking about gay "marriage?" According to his [usual] [mis]translators, yes.

OK. This time they translated properly. Who am I to judge?

Why edge? Shouldn’t this be an easy one?

The Semi-Official Catholic Internet Magisterium (SOCIM) will tell you.
