There is a precedent. Paul wanted to go preach the gospel to Asia?, but God told him no. Acts 16. That God had preparatory work to do.
Whether this warning from the Pope is spirit led, I’ll leave for y’all to decide.
There’s also the commandments to believing wives of unbelievers to be silent and lead by example. 1 Peter 3:16
Okay, well, it’s been a couple thousand years since that inculcation.
Still too soon?
It’s like telling jokes about Lincoln or the Titanic....too soon?
Misuse of the text. Paul wanted to go to Asia to preach but God directed him elsewhere. God did not tell Paul not to preach, just that he was to preach somewhere else.
Paul wanted women to be silent in church. The people he was writing to came from a community where women gossiped during services and disrupted the message.
Many saints craved to preach to the Mussulmans in Asia and Africa and become thereby martyrs. Many of them succeeded.
There is no commandment by Peter in those verses for the wives of unbelieving husbands not to present the Gospel to their husbands verbally. Peter says that the husbands can be converted by nothing more than the behavior of the wives but he doesn't tell the wives not to preach the Gospel to them. Peter could be suggesting that their conduct may be as persuasive as their words but the two are obviously not mutually exclusive.

Probably is spirit led....the spirit of the anti Christ that is....
