"Imply" "imply" "imply" --- a word you used 3 times in 2 sentences. Your interpretation is very good example of eisegesis. You read into the pope's remarks what you expect to find there. And when he didn't precisely say it, you claim he "implied" it.

Like some (not all) of our polemical non-Catholic brethren and sistren here --- I won't name them because I don't want to ping them into the discussion --- you give the impression of "Papal Worst-ism": the insistence that no matter what he actually said or did, he MUST have meant it in the worst possible way.

Do you not admit that Francis is very ambiguous in many, if not most, of his “statements” and sermons?

To this date, I don’t think he has ever rectified any of the confusion he is causing. And Lombardi, another Jesuit, has done a terrible job trying to clean up Francis’ mess.
