Noting that I did not hear what the pope said, please consider the following.
The popes alleged message hauntingly reflects Mark 7:6-13. In that passage, Jesus reprimanded the Pharisees and teachers of the law for encouraging young people to disobey the "Honor Thy Father and Mother
commandment, the Pharisees thus driving a wedge between parents and their children.
Thanks for that reference. I added some verses that refers to that specific commandment.
