The Pope should not be preaching daily, or else his daily homilies should not be recorded and reported.
He should not be giving interviews.
Popes should speak primarily through Magisterial documents, and prepared, vetted texts—e.g., the Wednesday audiences.
That's the ticket.
Keep him from the people.
He's got way more important things to do than bother with interacting with the unwashed. Like running a massive, wealthy religious organization. He doesn't have time for the little people.
Just like Jesus.
Oh, wait a minute......
wow........
You caricature what I said.
I’m all for the Pope ministering to the poor—which he does, on a massive scale.
The Church is NOT wealthy. Millions pass through its hands—on the way to the poor—but it really lives from hand to mouth.
What I am against is the Pope’s shooting off his mouth and making “news” that is about nothing substantive, just careless, sloppy phraseology.
