Please honor the caucus.
At some point the Pope and his supporters need to worry less about parsing his words to demonstrate how ‘orthodox’ he is in the peculiar language of theology, but worry about how he is perceived by the people he is supposed to be leading - the scandal he is committing and to which they are complicit is what they will be most harshly judged upon when facing the Lord.
If the Pope can explain his actions in clearer language then he is bound to do so. And if he can’t, then he is bound to be quiet.
