Two contradictory points, it seems from Pope Francis - dominated by an implicit third:
1. You can't do the new math with an old math mind - as Pogo, or Charlie Brown noted. "We cannot truly call upon God the father of all if we refuse to treat (others) in a brotherly way." "Father", "brother" - he is still intrinsically infected by the patriarchal culture, tradition, and pseudo-theology that has contributed mightely to the preservation of exclusion and diminution of women for centuries. It is saying in effect that we can only talk within "my" vocabulary and "my" vocabulary has broad and deep roots which are antithetical to your position. In fact, I can muddle around in chatter but there can be no resolution. 
2. Institutional vocabulary AND "reasoning" is a world unto its own and doesn't care about your/our vocabulary or even about the perception of reality we are putting into words.  Does it mean a row of beans? No. So, he can be pastoral (condescending) because he is in "his" world.
