yes, Pope Francis seems prone to either making erroneous or questionable statements, or at least he gets reported a lot that way
how can he clarify his views better? maybe if he prepared his statements, or did so more carefully? I can’t recall Pope Benedict or Saint JP2 having this kind of ongoing problem being “misunderstood”
Yes, this pope has a terrible problem with basic communications. He is too “conversational” in tone. He needs to preface his statements. He needs to always point out “the rest of the story” in terms of doctrine.
