Whilst that could all be true, I still feel it is dangerous.
If him voicing these opinions is dangerous, then I think there might be some bias against him from that perspective. Having an opinion, and having the authority to make something like that happen are two different things.
The Pope said he'd like to see contraception no longer used. Him saying that as a person is innocuous. Him saying that as a decree is dangerous.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
