Jesuit priest Richard Leonard has an interesting piece in the current issue of The Tablet.
He remembers how in previous pontificates being warned against the grave sin of 'scandalising and confusing the faithful' and now the pompous demands for Yes or No answers by dubious cardinals and the pious claims of theologians pointing to the pope's errors 'out of charity'.
Leonard quotes the famous line from Pope John XXIII: "In essentials, unity; in doubtful matters, liberty; in all things, charity."
He compares that sentiment to those who petulantly oppose Pope Francis who seem to have as their motto: "In all matters, unity; in doubtful matters, hostility; in no things, charity."
