The list of news outlets getting the Pope wrong or out of context grows each day it seems. Pope Francis has to be the most misunderstood, misinterpreted and mistranslated Pope in modern history. Is it a left wing press conspiracy? Perhaps, that has something to do with it. But as an old Soldier I learned early you don't give the enemy ammunition to use against you.
Pope John Paul II said something it was clearly reported. Bottom line you knew what he said and what he meant. Same with Benedict XVI. Why such a problem with this Pope? Is it possible he is "throwing spaghetti at the wall" to see what will stick?
Advice for Pope Francis handlers. Tell him to make his Yes, Yes and his No, No. If not, don't expound on the matter at all. And then don't have a Cardinal go out and make matters worse.

Oh, I am SO glad you said that. Pope Francis is often misunderstood when he speaks, and I’ve wished his people would read over his remarks and make it plainer in ENGLISH, so that the leftwing media can’t misquote him.
