1. Only from what they write. My gripe with the Pope is that he has allowed a situation to develop over AL whereby it is being interpreted differently by bishops and bishops' conferences throughout the world.
When Pope St John II spoke on the doctrinal matter of women's ordination he did it 'to confirm the brethren in order that no doubt might remain'. Pope Francis has studiously ignored pleas from scholars, priests and even cardinals to remove all doubt about the Exhortation.
2. Of course those posts had everything to do with religion, they were centred mainly on abortion and religious freedom. Hillary's manifesto I concluded was downright anti-Catholic and that the Catholic Church would find him a more sympathetic President than her. I am naturally delighted at this but if you wish to interpret that as gloating and jeering, so be it.
I gave you my answer, if you don't accept it there is not much more I can do about it.
