He was elected just before my first birthday. When he died, I was already married. His papacy dominated the Church in my lifetime - a Church that was never healthy.

I both loved & lamented him. He seemed to vacillate between holiness & heresy. What an enigma. https://t.co/YjDnLGYi9a

The Mystery of Christ
"This is the greatest mystery of our Church: that we all become one in God. If we do this we become His own. There is nothing better than this unity. This is the Church. This is the Orthodox faith. This is Paradise." +St. Porphyrios

News about and Reactions to Pope Francis' Controversial Remarks in That Documentary
Some remarks from Pope Francis in "Francesco" are the result of heavy editing of previous interviews. The Vatican has not yet commented on the pope's comments on civil unions in the film. https://t.co/2vQxHtpjjU

Given an opportunity to clarify the situation today, Vatican comms director Paolo Ruffini chose to remain silent, as did the documentary director.

IMPORTANT: Apb. Fernández is a longtime friend & ghostwriter for Francis. He says "what the Pope has said on this issue is what he also held when he was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires" & that it's "called 'civil union, or' civil coexistence law', not marriage".

CONFIRMED. https://t.co/pqUOvzkykK
Outrageous splicing of at least three different clips. And you all turned on the pope within hours. You should all be utterly ashamed. https://t.co/4gtqEeDEyO

AP’s @nwinfield says Pope gives thumbs-up to civil unions. She’s extremely pro-Francis, a real cheerleader, highly unlikely to misreport the Pope’s words given her excellent sources in Team Francis. https://t.co/j6Tk2TCbLB

It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions regarding civil unions attributed to Pope Francis and reported with so much emphasis by the press do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church. https://t.co/YXZiwKPs9M

(The Council of) Constance
Constance is the site of the Church Council that affirmed the “Conciliarist” position: the right to remove an incorrigible pope. The city's history may be interesting to those concerned about today's news about the current pontiff. Srdja Trifkovic writes: https://t.co/NDALomRBy4

Srdja Trifkovic
Selective Editing of the Interview of Pope Francis for the Francesco Documentary
"Joe" points out that a second clip, which was never aired as a part of the official interview done by by Valentina Alazraki or released subsequently, was added onto another clip, which made it seem like the other clip (that those with SSA should have be a part of a family [with their parents]) was being used as a justification or rationale for the claim concerning civil unions in the second clip. Even if that it is the case, Pope Francis nevertheless did make some statements concerning civil unions. Will the deleted portions of the interview be made available? Will the Vatican Press Office issue a clarification or denial on behalf of Pope Francis? I wouldn't be surprised if there is no clarification issued.
