The pope’s words are unclear and not necessarily a denial. We cannot know from just these words what the pope believes.
However, we have seen that he is unclear about much of Catholic teachings, especially the most fundamental things. He says there’s no hell. He says God makes gays that way. He says the Bible and the koran are equal.
Either he flunked out of priest school, or he is trying to change what people believe.
Either way, he needs to get off the Chair of Peter.
The author of confusion is satan.

Thanks.
Speaking of “the chair of Peter”, why didn’t he intervene when Paul was imprisoned in Rome? Why didn’t he at least visit him in prison? I’ve never understood that.
