If you thought I’d disagree with your first para, Pete, you’re going to be disappointed. It is precisely because so many Church figures these days waffle that heresy creeps in; waffle can be interpreted whichever way one wants to, and although, as you point out, Pope Francis doesn’t himself change Church teachings, his ambiguous comments leave the door open for activists to claim that their interpretations of what he says constitute the Church’s current teachings.
And, of course, the Synodol process is sneaky – it’s Vatican III by stealth.
