I agree that such a person should be ignored, and I'm not defending Francis. I am not defending Francis of playing sick mental games. What I am doing is investigating the accusations objectively in order to determine what is true.
Did Francis approve contraception, as is claimed? Did he intentionally and deceptively make two true statements that gave the impression contraception was permissible, without actually saying it is permissible, which is another possibility? Or did advocates of contraception take his words taken out of context to promote their agenda? I think we can rule out number 1.
You don't seem to understand Bergoglio's tactics. He has been excoriated even by some EWTN radio personalities for deliberately creating confusion. He bragged about causing chaos. He amused himself about the thought of being a heretic and said he didn't care. Bergoglio puts out a statement or allows a statement to be put out that CAN be interpreted in a completely non-Catholic or even heretical way. Then some conservatives criticize it, and ask that the Vatican issue a clarification. Bergoglio then REFUSES to make the necessary clarification to bring something in line with Traditional Catholic teaching. His obvious intent is to promote and to allow the non-Catholic interpretations. He did this most clearly with
Amoris Laetitia. His clear intent was to allow those German (and other) bishops who had been agitating to give Communion to divorced fornicators to do exactly that. When that group of Cardinals intervened and objected to AL, asking for a clarification, he refused to respond, so they had to publish the letter.
We had the quasi-journalist Scalfari attribute several clearly-heretical opinions to Bergoglio. Had these been said of any orthodox Catholic, there would have been an immediate rejection of the claim: "That is nonsense. I believe no such thing." Instead Bergoglio probably enjoyed watching people squirm and wondering whether he's a heretic. He deliberately thumbs his nose at people who insist on doctrinal orthodoxy.
Bergoglio has ears itching for novelty ... which is the hallmark characteristic of a heretic.
