Please don't put words in my mouth. Where has the Pope contradicted what this woman said? Where has the Vatican issued a clarification that she misinterpreted or misrepresented his advice?
You can believe me when I say that I very thoroughly washed each one beforehand.

I'm not a Catholic, so you'll have to confirm for me that this is a pope's job - to constantly and comprehensively issue statements and clarifications covering every single private statement ever made, making the pope responsible for his every private utterance on the subject of faith and morals which may somehow have been overheard, misinterpreted or misrepresented to the point wherein the rules concerning papal infallibility and ex cathedra are surely being thrown out the window by the very Catholics who claim to believe in them.
As I surmised on an earlier thread on this subject, I guess this really does mean that the pope has been placed under arrest, and is being counseled not to open his mouth without his lawyer being present.
