Wouldn’t it be kind of bad for a Catholic to suggest that the Pope is not in fact the rightful communicator of God’s message for the church, but is instead an easily-misled consumer of speculative internet postings?
I think the Pope and his aides can be misled by propaganda, ie, bloggers, “news” orgs, and even terrorists.
