I am still scratching my head about the "unstated" things between the "stated" things. I can only guess, given the alacrity with which the apology/(if it was that) came forth, the unstated must mean more, but have to wait and see other cardinals, and how church reacts. Nothing comes out of Vatican, and that too from pope, without lot of thinking, consultations, etc etc.
Obviously it is not a doctrinal thing, but could become one soon - instructions to laity. If only we can figure out the scale of importance of such speeches (compared to the official doctrinal decrees).. Has any "pope" done such thing before in recent history and what were the following events?
