“Faced” not “believed.”

What Pope Francis actually said”

Yet only from that night do we see the dawn of the resurrection break forth. At the foot of the cross, Mary thought once more of the words that the angel had spoken about her Son: “He will be great… The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end” (Lk 1:32-33). On Golgotha, Mary faced the complete denial of that promise: her Son was dying on a cross like a criminal. In this way, triumphalism, destroyed by the abasement of Jesus, was likewise destroyed in the heart of his Mother.

OK—

Good for reading. What he said was not actually heretical—merely, in the words of good old-fashioned dogmatic theology—”ill sounding to pious ears.”

He still said the Blessed Mother held “triumphalism” in Her heart.

Do you believe that of the Immaculate Conception?

Who said “believed”?

The article correctly quotes Bergoglio as saying “faced”.
