That's also what I read at the link. So, the Pope thinks that Jesus can be "angry", but that His "anger" with the apostles is not real anger.
If he is trying to draw a distinction between say, "wrath of God" and "the displeasure of a parent", then I can probably live with this, but he should clarify.
Now marshmallow is saying that the original quote actually said:
”:“In the Gospel, Jesus does NOT become angry, but pretends to when the disciples do not understand him. At Emmaus he says: ‘How foolish and slow of heart’. ‘How foolish and slow of heart’…
This really is answered the same way: the Pope could be distinguishing between the "wrath of God" and the "displeasure of a parent".
I am not a Catholic, but I am a pastor and we preach pretty regularly, and I do NOT read a script. I have an outline, and it's entirely possible that in trying to make a point some things get left unsaid.
I wouldn't consider it fair to take a sermon and expect it to be stated with the precision that one would expect of a doctoral dissertation. There absolutely has to be allowance for slip of tongue, grasping the wrong word, lack of clarity in explaining an idea.
I prefer speaking naturally and not from a script.
The problem is not what the pope may have meant, but that there is an almost daily Gaffe of the Day from the pope.
He’s a loose cannon.
