Creating a new tempest in that well used teapot.

Not necessarily. Consider the source of this post: Eponymous Flower blog. Here is how they describe themselves:

Purpose

This is a polemical Catholic Royalist blog. It will also attempt to provide a window onto various events, situations and personalities not generally or favorably presented to the purview of the general public in the English speaking world. It also hopes to be a bridge for those who wish to cross over, unite and fight for the truth.

Consider, as well, the freeper piusv only posted the introduction to the post and not the entire text.

The pope's homilies are constructed in Spanish, translated into Italian for delivery and then translated (i.e. "interpreted") in English by anyone and everyone. My suggestion is that anyone who is seriously interested in what the pope has to say, should go to the source, not the interpretation or translations.

Funny how the last several popes didn’t have this “translation” problem.

Once or twice is one thing.

This is like a lifestyle for him.

Houston, we have a problem. (Or rather YOU all have a problem)

Um,I posted an excerpt and clicked that it was an excerpt. I rarely post a full article/link. I figured you’re all capable of click on the link to get the whole article. Am I wrong about that?

The only thing I should have done was posted that it was a Catholic/SSPX/SV Caucus thread. I don’t normally mind the Protestant input but the discussion is going in too many directions.

Double translations artfully presented to say what they don’t intend to say, while contrasting a homily to an encyclical, is not a good example of “unite and fight for the truth.”
