The pope is/has become a socialist, living in Argentina, so no, his encyclical is not accidental at all. I think it borders on the apostate, but that is just my opinion.
I’ve been to a Maronite church a few times, and to church with a friend who belongs to the Greek Orthodox church-I’ve used the word “sect” when talking about our respective churches, and he didn’t say it was offensive-probably being polite-so thanks for telling me it offends.

you are wrong...oh, it may very well be that historians in the distant future will cast a critical eye at Francis...but in the first few months after Francis’ papacy ends, the Church will fall all over itself to canonize him, much in the manner of JPII, all in an attempt to validate the 1960’s apostasy that was termed the ‘spirit of Vat II’...
the Church spent a great deal of its ecclesiastical capital in its deliberate misinterpretation of the Vat II documents...and it aims to make the ‘investment’ pay off...
