People are celebrating what this old poop has put out in the exhortation. In my opinion they are being naïve. That final report may have any number of things in it. Any impression he has retreated from his contribution to the destruction of Catholicism is just an illusion and wishful thinking.

…”he will only do that which he thinks he can get away with. …”
That was exactly how JPII behaved concerning capital punishment. The wording in his CCC did not match his public remarks, which were far more direct. JPII and Ratzinger as head of CDF combined to sow enough confusion to keep everybody off balance. JPII also could rely on a pliant group of both clergy and laity who were infatuated with the late Pope’s well-crafted cult of personality. That cult exploited the Catholic tendency toward (and demand for) blind deference to clerics and prelates.
Francis learned from a master. The only difference is that Francis is far less adroit publicly than JPII was.

 

 

 

 

 

Own comment: 

The point Mundabor makes is very striking and it is amazing anyone can compare Querida Amazonia to Humanae Vitae: In Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI the terrible attempted to put an end to the promotion of false ideas, whereas Bergoglio has encouraged their proliferation.

As bad as Pope Paul VI was, he drew a line and upheld Catholic teaching, whereas Bergoglio has refused to endorse heresy and urged everyone to continue debating it.
