The issue is that it's opinion. Whether it's based in fact or not is beside the point.

We're all about freedom of speech; however, the original article was "Pope" not "Dope" which means you editorialized the article title and therefore you may have changed the meaning of the article.

Yeah, "dope" is, "superstition monger" and "defender of pedophiles" are factual. "Religious extremist" also describes and fits him perfectly, is that passable?

It may be factually correct; however, it's still self-editorialized. You're editing an article to fit what you want it to say.

If the title you're providing is reflecting the content of the article (or is just a copy/paste of the article heading) then it's okay. But, if you're adding in your own personal bias (that you don't like the Pope, whether you have facts to back it up or not) then it becomes an issue with creating a misleading title.
