Pope endorses same-sex civil unions in new documentary film

While I do agree with you on a more basic level I do prefer not to go into outstretched "whataboutism". Athanasius, the great saint had many people killed on his command. I'm certain that he regrets some of those orders in his heavenly retrospective. We all commit mistakes and the Qur'an kissing was definitely one of those occasions for John Paul ii. Francis is a whole different topic however. He commits the one gross scandal after the other, which puts him in a rather poor position altogether. He's more similar to Arius than to JPii in that perspective.

There’s a PR corollary that could be said to go like this: “No matter who breaks it, if you don’t fix it you bought it.” It means that no matter what a leader actually says or does, if he or she allows an impression to be created and doesn’t publicly disown it, then it belongs to them.

Bottom line on pope movie mystery: ‘If you don't fix it, you bought it’

It seems not:

Argentine archbishop and Pope Francis advisor says 'civil union' not mistranslated in documentary

I don't find any of the confusion confusing. Pretty much everyone agrees that the promotion of same-sex civil unions is implicit support for homosexual acts. The liberals cheered and the conservatives booed, but they all shared that premise, and who can blame them? Hopefully Francis doesn't share the premise, but the position still strikes me as poor judgment on all sorts of levels.
