Here’s the thing. Given the controversy these comments have created, and now that they seem to have been repeated, would it not make sense for an institution as influential as the Vatican to release the Pope’s thoughts in the world’s major languages, approved by his office?

I'll go one step further. Today, half of all Catholics with a keyboard and an Internet connection want to be Jay Carney and spin the Pope's words, telling us what the Pope "really" meant. Given the repeated speeches on the same subject, would it not make sense for the Pope himself to come out and clarify his thoughts, if the Pope believes that he is being misunderstood?
