Of course not. There’s no word of casting doubt, much less erasing other sins. Nor is there an issue of mortal sin but simply an urgent need to take the message of charity seriously. Did one Wall Street banker go to jail over the Lehman Bros crash of 2003-2004? Was Soros ever prosecuted over his currency manipulations: pain,death, and destruction? Hillary Clinton’s $100,000 overnight win in a cattle futures investment of $`1000? Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe? Saudi Royalty? Dubai emirs while thousands of third world workers get housed in prison-like conditions? It’s worse in South America where corruption and graft is endemic.

Francis certainly is trying to erase the definition of sins and also making a mockery of the Sixth Commandment with his SinNods.

"But it did me good, so much good. Cardinal Kasper has for many years advocated a change in the Church’s teaching on the reception of Holy Communion by the divorced and “remarried” and the book in question is Mercy: The Essence of the Gospel and the Key to the Christian Life, advocates many gravely problematic positions, which underlie his advocacy for such a change."

Not according to Pope Francis.

Pope Francis: “Our common home is being pillaged, laid waste and harmed with impunity. Cowardice in defending it is a grave sin."

Grave sin = mortal sin. The two words are used interchangeably in Catholic teaching.

Francis supports liberation theology. He honors liberation theologists such as Gustavo Gutiérrez Merino and has written the preface for Cardinal Muller's pro-liberation theology book, "Poor for the Poor: The Mission of the Church". Liberation theology is communism with a Christian veneer.

Did one Wall Street banker go to jail over the Lehman Bros crash of 2003-2004? Was Soros ever prosecuted over his currency manipulations: pain,death, and destruction? Hillary Clinton’s $100,000 overnight win in a cattle futures investment of $`1000? Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe? Saudi Royalty? Dubai emirs while thousands of third world workers get housed in prison-like conditions?

Please explain how advocating for liberation theology/eco-socialism (communism) is an appropriate Christian response to the above complaints?
