The “Roman church” [sic] is completely defined in your view by what some functionary says the Pope thinks? Seriously?

No. It is completely defined by what Popes have said and done for 600 years. When a person calls themselves the Vicar of Christ and use that power to alter the interpretation of the Gospel, then the entire office and the organization that supports it cannot be trusted.
In light of all the things that Comrade Pope has said and done, do you accuse the functionary of lying?
