Is the above what he actually said in an address on American soil at this time?

No. It's what you think he said. Note the [brackets] inserted in the text. Who inserted them? The piece reads a quite different way, if you take the [brackets] out.

Thanks for answering my question, betty. Actually, I thought this was not a current answer to a recent papal address, and I did answer my own question. I don't know if you saw Post #36, where I said

"The content of the above article is simply the Augsburg Confession of the Lutheran Church, not a direct rebuttal to anything said by the current head of the Roman Catholic denomination, the Pope Francis (Francis Bergoglio), while visiting the United States in 2015."

And I got one part of that wrong. The Pope is Jorge Bergoglio.
