It's a bit unnerving to see a pope who treats serious matters (his quote about allowing contraceptives to be used to avoid Zika) with such casual banter. We are accustomed to popes who carefully weigh everything they say and like to review questions in advance so they'll have time to think about them. It seems that Francis doesn't worry too much about the consequences of his words, and therefore his enemies might use that weakness against him, so as to set him up for a trap of some kind. It could turn out to be his undoing.
He knows what he is doing, nothing in politics happens by chance. The questions are chosen for him to teach his "doctrine". The reporters are chosen/told to ask the questions, so he can preach. Nothing in politics happens by chance.
It is exactly how ALL the "heresies of Vatican II" were spread, the bishops, cardinals, and popes teach heresy in non-magisterial actions, news media comments, national conferences of Bishops, public masses, all "slip-ups" that are never recanted or corrected, but are incorporated as the next step.
You are so right.
Also. How many times does the Pope mention Jesus Christ?
I heard and almost fainted when I heard him mention creepy Lincoln, adulterer MLK, Adulturer dorothy day and liberal thomas Merton monk.
No wonder he didn't visit the Mother Drexel Shrine. Because he didn't want to.
Did he visit any shrine when in Philly?
I don't remember seeing the blessed Mother during Mass. I don't remember hearing the Ave a Maria during Mass.

Dorothy Day, Obl.S.B., (November 8, 1897 – November 29, 1980) was an American journalist, social activist, and Catholic convert.
Dorothy Day became famous after her conversion. She initially lived a bohemian lifestyle before becoming Catholic.[1] This conversion is described in her autobiography, The Long Loneliness.[2]
Day's social activism is also described in her autobiography. In 1917 she was imprisoned as a member of suffragist Alice Paul's nonviolent Silent Sentinels. In the 1930s, Day worked closely with fellow activist Peter Maurin to establish the Catholic Worker Movement, a pacifist movement that combines direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf. She practiced civil disobedience, which led to additional arrests in 1955,[3] 1957,[4] and in 1973 at the age of seventy-five.[5]
Day was also an active journalist, and described her social activism in her writings. As part of the Catholic Worker Movement, Day co-founded the Catholic Worker newspaper in 1933, and served as its editor from 1933 until her death in 1980. In this newspaper, Day advocated the Catholic economic theory of distributism, which she considered a third way between capitalism and socialism.[6][7] Her activism and writing gave her a national reputation as a political radical,[5] perhaps the most famous radical in American Catholic Church history.[8]
Dorothy Day's life is an inspiration for the Catholic Church. Pope Benedict XVI used her conversion story as an example of how to "journey towards faith... in a secularized environment."[2] Pope Francis included her in a short list of exemplary Americans, together with Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Thomas Merton, in his address before the United States Congress.[9] The Church has opened the cause for Day's possible canonization, which was accepted by the Holy See for investigation. Due to this, the Church refers to her with the title of Servant of God.
