He has every ability to speak clearly.

How's your Spanish?

No worse than his when he speaks about Catholicism.

It is not a language problem. It is a running of the mouth without thinking problem.

He should simply shut up until he has something constructive, not destructive, to say.

He causes confusion as to what the Catholic faith says. He is more a South American Marxist wrapped up in Liberation Theology and Social Gospel nonsense than a reflective, well spoken Pope.

When he does speak, or make an appointment, it is a disappointment at best. Just check out the new Arch Bishop Cupich of Chicago or almost any of his new Cardinals. Most should have their pictures hanging in the local post office, not sporting red caps at the Vatican.

Do I think this Pope is stupid? No. He is quite intelligent. That makes his clouded speech that much worse. He is too interested in not offending the Secular and looking good to the Godless press. In doing so he is offensive and confusing to those who are practicing the faith and trying to lead a Christian existence.

You don't have to agree with my assessment, but don't deny he has said some mind numbingly stupid and ill advised things. It is difficult enough in this age to defend the Catholic Faith without a glory seeking bloviator as Pope.

St. John Paul the Great spoke Polish as his native tongue, Benedict spoke German as his, yet they never said such stupefyingly dumb things in past three decades as this Pope has said regularly in the past twenty-three months and he speaks a Romance language for Pete's sake.
