This looks like lose/lose/lose all the way around.
These “ecologists” throwing condoms to disrupt mass =losers

The Pope made an error by making it sound like he was willing to have millions die from disease.
And for French Catholics to want their pope out of the country because they don’t like one position is a loss too.

You made the error of relying on the media to accurately report what the Pope said instead of finding out what he actually said.
