"Vatican transcript alters Pope’s bombshell remark on validity of Catholic marriages"
lifesitenews.com
"The official Vatican transcript of controversial remarks made by Pope Francis this week, in which he speculated that the 'great majority' of Catholic marriages are in fact invalid, significantly alters his words.
While a video of the pope’s remarks show clearly that he used the Italian words 'grande maggioranza' (great majority) to indicate the proportion of marriages that he believes are 'null,' the official Vatican transcript changes those words to the more measured 'parte' – i.e. a part, portion, or some.
Yahoo News reports that a Vatican spokesperson stated that the Pope’s words may at times be altered in official transcripts, “after consulting with him or among aides,” in the words of Yahoo News....
In 2014, Cardinal Walter Kasper, known to be a close friend and advisor of Pope Francis, said in an interview that he had spoken with Pope Francis, who told him, 'he believes that 50 percent of marriages are not valid.'
This is not the first time that the Pope’s words have been altered in Vatican transcripts.
In April, a reporter asked Pope Francis whether there are any 'new concrete possibilities' for the divorced and remarried 'that did not exist before the publication' of his exhortation Amoris Laetitia, making specific reference to 'the discipline that governs the access to the Sacraments.'
The pope began his response by saying simply, 'I can say yes, period.' This was taken by many as confirming interpretations that the exhortation opened the door to allowing Communion for divorced and remarried couples – something which the Church has always forbidden.
However the official Vatican transcript altered the pope’s statement, changing the word 'posso' (I can) to the conditional 'potrei' (I could) – thereby injecting a level of uncertainty into the remarks."
