He spells out very clearly the answer to your question in the above link. He states that there has never been such attacks on marriage as we are witnessing now. And he goes on to explain what will be the Church’s response.

...why all the mistranslations lately of what he actually says? Oh I dunno, is almost like the media isn't on his side or something...

I see. That’s nice of your pope. But the issue for a Christian has already and always been settled from the lips of Our Lord Himself.
Why has a misunderstanding of what Jesus Christ said ever been allowed to gain foothold in the RCC so that the church leader has to issue new guidelines on how to handle “such attacks on marriage”.
Circular, evasive reasoning on the RCC’s part?
To: Talisker
Gotcha. The media mistranslated. Thanks.
To: Resettozero
-— Why is the Pope revisiting this subject when Holy Scripture (Lord Jesus Christ Himself) has already settled it once for all time? -—
How has that approach worked for mainstream Protestantism?
Regardless, homosexual”marriage” wasn’t up for grabs at the Synod. The controversy regarded practicing homosexuals receiving communion. A minority of bishops pushed that with apparent papal approval, but they were voted down by the majority of bishops.

finally a little hope in this Pope. The key to understanding Pope Francis is to avoid mainstream media coverage of anything they claim he says. Always go to the source!

See? You live on an alternate sphere than I. Communication isn't conducive because you are adapted to cultic and personal esoteric definitions of words and ideas that have no foothold in reality. Like this statement of yours.
To: Mrs. Don-o

You are mistaken. Francis is improving on Jesus Christ's words and offering modifications, not showing "loyal support" but rather his superior position of authority over the Word of God. He is seated in a place where he ought not be seated.

“Pope as Rorschach Test.” The viewer sees what the viewer wants. It reminds me of my kids.
I say, “The cereal bars are for Kathleen. They are only for Kathleen, and that is not going to change. Don’t ask, again, if you can have one. They are for Kathleen.”
The boys hear, “If you ask me an hour from now, I might give you a cereal bar.”

Don't think this is what Francis is addressing; it isn't.
But you raise a valid point, just as is the rampant adultery (and homosexuality) historically prevalent among RCs.
Not a Lutheran, not a Protestant. Born-again believer in and follower of The Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, gathering in fellowship with others of the same beliefs.
