Just as science isn’t about consensus, neither is religion. There is faith and truth. If you’ve been asked a question, answer it. Deflecting to how many friends you have doesn’t serve the cause of truth.
The Pope has sown confusion. He should clear it up. If he is in error, admit it. If he is not, he should be able to defend his teaching.
Honestly, I believe he has sewn more than confusion.
There is all too obviously a clear and present danger of an agenda being implemented to murder Catholic identity and so dilute the faith and practices of Holy Mother Church that any fool should soon be pleased to bustle up and down the aisles and corridors selling what ever a money changer sells. Be it sodomy for gays, dissolution of the Sacrament of Marriage, false teaching that tickles ears of the outsiders who are pleased to move in, etc.

Well said. Thank you.
