Because of his obsessive concentration of the Christian virtue of mercy; to the exclusion of all other aspects of any problem which allows him to exercise mercy.

An obsession which resulted in the personal papal decision to re-instate Monsignor Izoli who had previously been laicised due to involvement in child abuse.

An egregious mistake which the pope was forced to recant publicly 10 days ago. After humongous fresh damage in this most sensitive of areas had been done.

Were such mistakes confined to off the cuff remarks, often at widely reported press conferences sadly, they could perhaps be tolerated, though they would still be exceedingly disconcerting.

As the above case highlights, and as the prolix AL confirmed, it  is not just in the press forum that Pope Francis manifests ill judgement.

Hence his decision to introduce a bombshell innovation in the form of a mere footnote there. Supplemented by an astonishing assertion, less than a week later, that he could not remember it.
