I think that confusion
I think that confusion reflects the really problematic disconnect in the protest. Shouting "Even the Pope calls for peace" at a Catholic mass as if the folks being interrupted don't have the same kind of relationship to the Pope through the structure of the Church is head scratcher. If you take your protest cry from the Pope, you give that authority a kind of legitimacy, but if you show up in a Catholic church to disrupt mass, you clearly don't respect the Church in a way that would give the chant any kind of conviction. And so, it seems the protest was designed with the simple goal of getting on camera, which isn't the most nuanced kind of visuality a cause ought to seek.
