Or Francis could just answer the questions, letting his yes mean yes and his no mean no. The problem is, if he answers the questions the way Kasper and friends would like, he departs from the Catholic faith handed down to us from the Apostles. If there was nothing wrong with answering in this manner, he would have done so already and we wouldn't be having this conversation. I'm praying for Francis that he does not condemn himself with his silence.
