After reading Ed's comment about the Pope possibly confusing "message" and "massage," I immediately thought of Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther. Not sure on the link sharing rules here, but... https://youtu.be/YHFE6WZK71s

“It’s equally possible that Francis wasn’t totally seized of the details because he was acting on the best advice of his advisors in the Congregation for Bishops, with whom Aupetit had also been in contact about his situation.

But if the pope is going to lean so heavily on the advice of his counselors that he’s not taking in the details of high profile cases, that’s probably something bishops will want to consider before “placing their future in the hands of the Holy Father,” as Aupetit did.”

If Pope Francis isn’t getting into the details on this critical issue, I think it is fair to conclude he isn’t getting relevant details about other things, e.g., James Martin, New Ways Ministry, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, American conservatives, the TLM, etc. From where I sit, it also seems clear that some, if not all, of Francis’ closest advisors are manipulating him in service of their agendas. It seems then that the smoke of Satan has indeed entered the Church and now swirls around the Supreme Pastor. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for Us!
