We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

so you think all the things he's saying aren't shifts away from the more conservative elements of the clergy? and even better, that he's saying it to troll people?

Based on the quotes in the OP, I'd assume the Pope was more reaffirming that any positions he held were reflective of his views on the nature of Catholicism and faith rather than being in deference to political ideas. That doesn't mean that they're any less reflective of any particular political persuasion, just that their genesis is separate.
As a fully liberal-artsy, white, bleeding-heart, liberal, and feministy dude I still do disagree with him on a great many things, but I don't think he's exactly denouncing liberalism in any way.

Remember the guy who said "I did not come to abolish the laws or the prophets. I came to fulfill them." But then he started a new religion.

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

I'm so stoked, the CEO from the Catholic corporation is here.
