perhaps she had the urge to say: ‘Lies! I was deceived!' [...] But She, with silence, covered the mystery that She did not understand and with this silence she left this mystery so that it could grow and flourish in hope.Pope Francis: Silence Reveals the Mystery of God's Plan
You guys never quote in full context. I wonder why.
If I happened to be speaking about you and said "perhaps he had the urge to say: 'Lies! I was deceived!', the implication would be clear - that in fact your possession of such thoughts would have to exist within the realm of possibility (which scripture, traditional Church teaching, history, and common sense demonstrate to be untrue in the case of our Blessed Mother, who was perfectly united with Our Lord in His Passion.) The words ("perhaps she had the urge to say: ‘Lies! I was deceived!") in association with the Mother of God (even in a speculative sense) are demonstrably counterfactual, which is the reason Pope Francis' remarks resulted in such widespread incredulity. If the objective was to contrast her response with that of an ordinary person, then the effort fell short, because the words that would have made the supposed contrast unambiguous are simply not there.
If this WIDESPREAD surprise and confusion among the faithful is the result of a poor choice of words on his part, then perhaps the Vatican ought to issue another clarification.
