Passive-Aggressive Timing on the Part of Bergoglio?

The pope who says he is not an expert on theology and yet writes on the moral theology of the common good. "Looking to the common good is much more than the sum of what is good for individuals. It means having a regard for all citizens and seeking to respond effectively to the needs of the least fortunate." Let him elaborate the difference between the two forms of moral calculus. Even if Bergoglio is using the novel definition of the common good advanced by modern RC social teaching, that is a good which is not identical to the good of the political community but subordinate to it and must be measured against it. The balancing is not "responsibility" vs. "freedom" (strawman) but "responsibility" vs. other "responsibilities."
