Kudos to the Pope for dealing with being put on the spot by Trudeau..
.
Trudeau could have gotten an apology, and had him, and the Pope both looking like heroes, if he had made the "ask" in private, instead of through the press.
.
And we know he did not ask in private as he would not have made the release of what he was going to do beforehand, if he knew the response would be "we will consider it"..
.
Bullying someone in public always works well, and has the bullyer getting what they want, right? Like "Building this pipeline is a no-brainer", or "(fill in the blank country)"  will never get nuclear weapons, or use poison gas"
.
Hope fully the Pope will give it all the consideration it deserves, and reserve an outcome for a long, long time..
