Are Pope Francis' Teachings Not Based on Catholic Doctrine Founded on Divine Revelation?

Vatican expert Sandro Magister, on his Chiesa website May 19, allowed Fr. Giovanni Scalese, former professor of philosophy and rector at the Collegio alla Querce in Florence to explain Pope Francis thinking in the article " The four postulates of Pope Francis ."
