I think that the Pope’s observations in this case are insightful, and far from offering grounds for your conclusion, argue against it.

Sorry, but I believe this pope has dementia.

It might be more helpful to reconsider the pope's response within the context of its presentation. I was up quite early this morning and watched the live coverage of his meeting with the youth. Several youth posed questions to the pope and he took notes. One of these youth was a young woman named Lauren Kim. She described life growing up in a divided country and the painful impact it has on many Koreans who often bicker about the situation. The theme for today was the Prodigal Son. The pope provided a very insightful response to Kim, reminding her about the shared language. Lauren Kim said she "felt very blessed" when Pope Francis asked for a moment of prayer for the unification of North and South Korea.

"What impressed me the most was he said we have the same language," Kim, a 19-year-old international relations major, told Catholic News Service. "And language has the power (to change the problems) we have in our divided nation. Especially I'm interested in solving those problems. I'm hoping I can use his knowledge and try to expand knowledge from what he told us."
