The peculiar thing about the RCC is that given enough time, it will say anything about everything. It does not believe in absolutes. It is variable and relativistic. Whatever works at the moment in a particular discussion, that is what is asserted.
The end justifies the means, even if that means is something like kissing the Koran or retaining a homosexual priesthood.

By way of comparison the Islamic principle of Al-Takeyya comes to mind, as opposed to that which guides the Christian Church, the statement of our Lord: “For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.” (Luke 12:2-3)
