Especially coming after Benedict XVI, who thought and spoke with clarity and precision. Pope Francis seems to be a babbler. He talks too much. And he talks so off-the-cuff, so colloquially that we always have to be explaining him. The Pope should be the one to do the explaining. IMHO.

Who's the "we" doing the explaining Francis? How does "we" know "we" are explaining correctly. Fr. Lombardi has been caught in outright lies. Who else is explaining Francis?

When Francis is apparently "misinterpreted", as "we" claim, why doe Francis never make follow-up clarifying statements? He seems to have no concern with people agonizing over what "did the Pope mean by that statement?"
