Should papal documents be clear?

I feel that Papal documents should be readily understood by an average, well informed Catholic.

God wills murder in His permissive will as well. No one would say "God wills murder" so why would anyone say this if not because they believe God wills the plurality of religions in His perfect will.

I think there is also debate between accessibility and clarity. Perhaps in the name of clarity the accessibility of documents would have to be reduced. The more distinctions added, the more time for translations to be made and more dry and academic the texts becomes. Of course causing confusion just winds up requiring more time to deal with though in theblong wrong

Jesus founded the Catholic church on the visible head of Peter. Jesus is the invisible head of the Catholic Church .Some of Orthodox churches are in Communion with Rome, and others are not! The Russian Orthodox church and the Greek Orthodox church may have a tremendous contempt toward the Catholic church.

I don't think everything is clear...hey look it isn't? Still, people 'expect' in this two second world to come across a truth - sometimes they only want to see confirmation! If ever there was a world where people look and can do it unashamedly then this is it! You get exactly what you look for...

Look for Christ and there's abundance, and freedom, and peace.

Church documents should definitely not be clear. If it's not confusing and backwards it's not religion.
