Francis still says many orthodox things. But there are also words and actions that have me and many others saying, “What?”

I'm in agreement with just about everything in your post. On Pope Francis still saying "many orthodox things" it is my sense that he sounds more orthodox when various official sermons and pronouncements are published in his name or read by him because others in his staff are writing them for him. When he speaks off the cuff or publishes a document on a topic near and dear to him (like the environment, toleration of syncretism and a lax approach to moral precepts), the real, unorthodox Francis shines through.

I agree.
