Lets suppose they are using the big lie with this pope? They may well be, but on the other hand, he himself definitely sends out mixed signals. Is he trying so hard to avoid offending his world-wide audience that he is confusing them all instead?

You may have a point there. I think the pontiff is perhaps too loose with his words because he assumes (incorrectly) that people are more familiar with the intricacies of Catholic theology. Catholics have 2,000 years of collected writings on various articles of faith.
The Pope may be assuming people are more familiar with the faith then they are. Or he may in fact be grandstanding. I like to assume the former as opposed to the latter.
