It was 12,000 words, not pages, and the Pope knew his audience would be mostly non-Catholics. Are you suggesting the Pope is too naive and ill-informed of the world to give an interview appropriate for the audience?
Indeed .. 12,000 words, not pages. Still, a daunting task to read and contrast against church teaching.
and the Pope knew his audience would be mostly non-Catholics.
The interview was given to the Jesuits, a Catholic religious community. I'm sure you are not suggesting the Jesuits are not catholics.

I have no personal knowledge of what arrangements and/or agreements were made prior to the interview. I am simply stating a fact. The interview was given to the Jesuit Catholic Community of which the pope is a member.
