Bergoglio came out and condemned abortion and gmarriage, however oddly. By his standards, it was a rather strong condemnation.

If form is anything to go by, we can count on him to come up with an extremely scandalous headline over the next week, and given  the relative strength of orthodoxy in his statement condemning these evils, we can expect the scandal to be quite grave.
