Without even reading the article it just seems inconceivable, to me, that given Francis’ long Catholic experience that he could “lack” elementary Catechism knowledge. What appears to be lapses of his in that regard MUST be, in my opinion, when he is just ignoring that elementary Catechism knowledge that he is well aware of; the alternative seems so unlikely.
Pope Frankie is 84 years old. Maybe he’s experiencing a mental decline like his new bosom buddy Biden.
Maybe in a homily he’ll start rambling on about an desperado back in Argentina called Pap de Maiz who harassed him while he was working as a bouncer in his youth.
