Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t a part of gossip talking about another’s situation when you don’t know all the details clearly and then helping to confuse others about that person’s situation? It seems to me the Pope is guilty of the very thing he was trying to condemn in the interview, gossip.

And maybe this is a way out there theory, but perhaps the interpretive key to Pope Francis’ pontificate are some of the first words he said from the balcony…”I’m a sinner.” He seems to not want to just say that with words, but to prove it through his actions from time to time. Why else would he accept this bishop’s resignation, but not the resignations of all the German bishops who turned one in?
