Francis spoke at the August 11 General Audience about the Ten Commandments in order to relativise them,
“May the Lord help us to journey along the path of the commandments but looking toward the love of Christ, with the encounter with Christ, knowing that the encounter with Jesus is more important than all of the commandments,” he said.
This contraposition is wrong because loving Christ and observing his commandments is the same thing as Christ himself says in John 14,21, “He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me.”
Francis is the first to prefer the commandments to love as he punishes sins - e.g. sexual abuses - or things he doesn't like - e.g. professing the Catholic Faith - with unheard severity.

This so-called pope ought to stick to what he knows - communism.
