After meeting with a world leader, the former pope would emerge and rattle off an incisive summation, [Father Federico] Lombardi tells me, with palpable wistfulness: “It was incredible. Benedict was so clear. He would say, ‘We have spoken about these things, I agree with these points, I would argue against these other points, the objective of our next meeting will be this’—two minutes and I’m totally clear about what the contents were. With Francis—‘This is a wise man; he has had these interesting experiences.’”
Chuckling somewhat helplessly, Lombardi adds, “Diplomacy for Francis is not so much about strategy but instead, ‘I have met this person, we now have a personal relation, let us now do good for the people and for the Church.’”
Confusion is occurring not only in matters of daily logistics and diplomatic strategy, it's also theological which is why so many of us are biting our finger nails over the upcoming October Synod.
The real question raised by all of this, however, is not addressed; is this "confusion" the work of a well-intentioned dufus or is something more sinister afoot?

Easy to find in a search.
I’m begging to suspect that the Pope is on psych drugs. That would explain much.
Also why is there an observatory on Mount Graham in Arizona (ancient Indian holy land) that is owned and operated by the Vatican and why the lens on the binoculars are called LUCIFER?
