Well, yeah, of course. I won't dispute for one second that he's dedicated to liberation theology and associated false doctrines. But AFAIAC, that dedication doesn't explain his recent erratic and bizarre statements:
No, when I've seen him over the past week on Italian TV, listening to him in the original Italian, I've had a strong impression of a fumbling, mumbling and bumbling old guy -- not at all like the super-glib, self-assured, cagey and bombastic leftists you'll normally find at MSNBC and similar outposts of statism.
Put another way, I think that if Bergoglio still were no more than a standard-issue Jesuit Latino left-winger, his recent public pronouncements would at least have had an air of faux cogency and circumspection -- qualities that seem altogether missing nowadays.
Okay, I’ll grant you the argument on the “style” and poise of the interviews...but the reasoning, the logic, is very MSNBC like.
