He (Francis) has backpedaled, I know. He has backpedaled in pretty much as much of a clear and unmistakeable way as can be normally expected by a Pope. But there is no doubt in my mind that this backpedaling is not the fruit of him realising that he has inadvertently expressed himself in, say, an unlucky way. On the contrary: he says very clearly what he means, and his body language makes the point all the way. The backpedaling is therefore, without the shadow of a doubt, an exercise in damage control meant to distract the faithful from what the Bishop of Rome really thinks.

A sure sign is when one excerpts his own blog.
Then again, who around here isn’t a “noob”? ;)

Is it unreasonable for people to expect the head guy of your religion to ALWAYS speak in accordance with what you are ALL supposed to believe in common? At least in public? How is it that a supposed successor to the Apostle Peter holds personal beliefs contrary to what every Catholic is mandated to believe? I don't see how y'all can hide behind the "infallible only on ex cathedra stuff" when so many are up in arms over the new Pope's "unorthodox" statements.
I wish I had a dollar every time this questioned was asked, explained and ignored ....only to be asked again probably by the same people.
I make a comment using a well known figure of speech: "You watch too much tv." The object of that comment responds by suggesting that, because there is a difference between youtube and tv, the comment is not to be taken seriously. And then he goes on with further, barely cohesive derogatory remarks, to which you contribute. All this on a thread that purports to know what Pope is thinking and saying and why (another projection), a folly which is repeated on anyone who dares criticize the premise.
I don't know if there's any medication for that, but if there is, you should take it before you embarrass yourselves further.
I suspect you will stay mystified. It is easier than learning something.
That's just it, I'm not mystified by the weasel words, rationalizations and "lawyer" speak RCs have to use to allow themselves the wiggle room needed to explain what to normally educated people are blatant contradictions. If you don't know the answer, just admit it instead of avoiding the question. After all, y'all have to live with the decisions mandated to you.
It is ironic, isn’t it, that Roman Catholics post such articles as OPEN Religion Forum threads and then pitch a fit if anyone NOT a RC dares post a comment?!
Rabbitgate?
Didn’t South Park do an episode on this?
In this case he should backpedal by issuing an abject apology. What a nasty expression on his face as he "gossips" to the media about a woman who deserves congratulations from him instead of such scorn.
