Maybe Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) feels compelled to comment because some media once got interested in his own "shit":
According to “The Silence,” a book written by journalist Horacio Verbitsky, Bergoglio withdrew his order’s protection of the two men after they refused to quit visiting the slums, which ultimately paved the way for their capture.
Verbitsky’s book is based on statements by Orlando Yorio, one of the kidnapped Jesuits, before he died of natural causes in 2000. Both of the abducted clergymen survived five months of imprisonment.
Bergoglio testified about the matter in 2010 after twice refusing to appear in open court, but “his answers were evasive, human rights attorney Myriam Bregman said.”

"Shit" is the appropriate term to use. He prolly feels heat because people are aware of the evils of the church and involvement of pedophilia. I think it wold have been in his best interest not to get involved rather then ranting on and on about feces like a raving lunatic.
