Sorry, shezan. But I find it agonizing and repulsive to watch a whole profession, member after member, repeating a complete misinterpretation of a passage that is not even so hard to understand, in order to invent a papal "trend" that does not, never did, and never will, exist, so as to be ultimately able to castigate the Pope when he tries to pull them

What happened?

Ah. I've seen it reported now, though the reports I've seen, both UK and US, report it essentially how you did there. Perhaps I'm not casting wide enough a net, which is not unknown. Several of the blog posts I've read mentioning it lament that he's not going far enough in his opinion for their liking. Of course, they'd rather he just gave license and was done with it.
