This “taken out if context”. “Failure of translation “ excusing is wearing thin. Francis seems to be governing by nuance and misdirection and there are a lot of people who respect the church who are uneasy. I doubt the erudite and sophisticated staffs at the Vatican are incapable if communicating.
I think much of this is because of the way the Pope communicates. He speaks almost entirely in vague, ambiguous platitudes which often appear contradictory. His pronouncements are like a verbal Rorschach test - you can project any meaning on him you want.
