Just imagine that he did come out and say categorically that homosexuality is now absolutely fine and the Catholic church has no problem with it, or gay marriage. Imagine whatever cherry picking and twisting he may say to produce that conclusion from the text, but he doesn't qualify it with disclaimers.

Do you think the average Catholic would accept this? Or would there be some sort of revolt? I really don't know so I'd be interested if anyone has a good idea what would happen.

Popes have been assassinated by insiders before ... I don't doubt it could happen again over something like that.
