People even twist the Sacred Scriptures; what makes you think the words of the Vicar of Christ are not twisted by people. “Whoever wants to pass for a good Catholic should beware of those who speak ill of religion, of its Ministers and especially of the Pope. He is a bad son who criticizes his father.” -St John Bosco.

..and there may be two sides to every person, but the Christian struggle and ultimate goal is a total transformation of heart, to die to the old self so that God may give us a new self: Himself. Death to the old self.
If there may be two sides to every person. Then good may dwell with evil. Sin with virtue , right with wrong. And God with the devil... Such erroneous assumption derives from Luther's heretical ideology that God Perfect Being incarnated mixed with evil becoming part of the world... By assigning the world to God's Being , this heresy made God subject to change in process together with time. And as a result since God changes with time because He is a part of it, His Commandments and the Church are also subject to change as the world changes with time. This heresy undermines all Dogma and deposit of faith. In contrary true popes although being tempted and imperfect always demanded perfection accordingly to: "Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect. " Mt 5
It depends on who is doing the editing. It is also true that there are two sides to every human being. Our 'fallen angels' so often dominate our lives to the detriment of our 'better angels.' Is not the Pope just as human as the rest of us? One could legitimately argue that he is tempted more by his 'fallen angels' than are mere pew-sitting Catholics like ourselves, one only needs to reflect on the early apostleship of St. Peter, the first Pope to get a glimpse of his struggle with the snares of the devil. Or, consider what we make of Christ's struggle with Satan.
The problem is not Pope Francis, the problem are all the talking heads on the internet who twist the words and intentions of the pope with the same skill that some twist the Sacred Scriptures. Obviously Satan will slander the visible Head of the Church.
