To: Salvation
Tune in later to hear the monsignor investigate other salient questions upon which the salvation of man rests, such as: What color was Mary's hair? What kind of knot did Jesus use to tie his sandals? Did Christ turn the water into Merlot or Chianti?

Pope's questions are beside the point. The salient issue from which Pope digresses (and perhaps leads others to avoid) is this: Man sinned of his own accord. God so loved us that He sent His only begotten Son- fully God and fully human- to take all our sin upon Himself and die in our stead. Only by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ will man be saved. And no person will gain salvation unless he or she comes directly through Christ Himself.

Someone should tell Pope that there is a very fine line between genius and heresy.

What’s your point? That these questions ought not be asked? He’s giving you an orthodox answer, BTW.
