Your source does not support your conclusion.

1. It was written less than 8 weeks into the papacy of Pope Francis. Apparently we can pick up his habits this early on into his papacy and form solid conclusions about them.

2. You oddly neglected to correctly distinguish between the consecration of the blessed sacrament. Francis, in every one of the masses he performs the consecration. What he sometimes refrains from doing is distributing the sacrament.

Why? As your own source says:

“He doesn’t wish to provide the photo opportunity by which those who are manifest sinners can use to justify their conduct”.

Something you did not manage to say earlier.

Your source needs to do some serious research into Catholicism so that they can properly understand what ‘consecration’ means.

“You oddly neglected to correctly distinguish between the consecration of the blessed sacrament.”

Now you’re grasping at straws. The Consecration was never mentioned in any of my posts.

P.S. “Blessed Sacrament” should be capitalized if you truly believe in transubstantiation. So I now have a good idea about you.
