Your comments — even your characterization of Abp Weakland — are true, but WTH do they have to do with this article?
Just noting a bit of the contextual environment within which the “Pope’s” comment is framed.
Also I couldn’t help but notice the juxtaposition of the names. “Strickland” vs. “Weakland.”
Yes, I know that the word is “strict,” not “strick.”
