As Pope Benedict said, the Holy Spirit always inspires (and never confuses) but men don't listen.  The spirit that moves this pope to insult and confuse so many people is obviously not that Holy Spirit.  Yet, it is clear that this pope draws his strongest supporters and apologists from the 50+% of US Catholics who support abortion, homosexual marriages/LGBT rights, and euthanasia, people who  consider conscience, however ill-formed, as superior to Scripture and Tradition.
