1. The interview from which the film clips of Pope Francis are in the news today is actually from Late May/June 2019. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzTz0mWo1D0)
2.">https://www.youtube.com/watch... The first clip, when speaking of a "right to a family," very clearly means that parents shouldn& #39;t disown their gay children. 1/5

3. The 2nd clip, which was spliced into the (apparent) documentary clip, does NOT appear anywhere in the aired interview/transcript. But the film places the two clips together to create the appearance that PF was endorsing same sex "convivencia civil" in a very broad sense 2/5

...Either way, we have no context whatsoever for that clip – it could very well be about Amoris Laetia for all we know!
4. At 1:00:06 there is a jump in the clip in a context that makes the comment even remotely probable. The clip wasn& #39;t aired, I venture to guess, because it 3/5

...was liable to be taken out of context or very easily misunderstood – likely at the request of PF or the Vatican. But that& #39;s also general speculation on my part. (Moreover, PF also spoke against the "incongruity" of same sex marriage right around the cut.) 4/5

5. So where did that clip on civil unions appear from? Seems unlikely that the Televisa station would secretly hold that clip from a long interview to spring up now. So how did the documentarian get it? Clearly he& #39;s also using it in widely deceptive framing! 5/5

Addendum: This is complete and total media failure. Journalists, Catholic and otherwise, failed to do their due diligence and have causes great scandal to many. We don& #39;t have any definitive context or pronouncements from PF at this time, what we have is an attempted media hitjob.
