The Vatican, in the person of Fr. Thomas Rosica, issued a quick statement yesterday responding to the inevitable feeding frenzy, calling the matter of homosexual civil unions “delicate,” but failing to actually clarify that Pope Francis would not now or at any time approve either “civil unions” or homosexual behaviour.

Please explain why this Pope has so much trouble with mistranslations and needs others to 'explain' what he really meant after he opens his mouth?

Please email Pope Francis the verses on "let your yes be yes and your no, no." All the Pope had to say was "No" on gay 'marriage (which he did); and "No" on civil unions (which he did not). The duplicity is astounding. Then Dolan gets on TV and makes it worse not better.

Sorry that it took so long to get back to you.

I think that the language barrier that the Pope deals with causes a lot of problems and a lot of the media takes advantage of that. I was concerned when I had heard that Pope Francis did not speak English. I knew that would cause some kind of issue.

As for Cardinal Dolan, he really ticks me off. He is very soft and does not take a hard stand on most of our Catholic teachings. I especially loathe the fact that he will not take governor Cuomo to task for his OBVIOUS shortcomings when it comes to his faith. Cuomo is a huge pro abort, is living with his girlfriend, is divorced, I could go on and on. Yet Cardinal Dolan wouldn’t say that Cuomo isn’t a Catholic in good standing. Really? He has to be kidding. He’s a huge disappointment.
