In reading this piece, and the comments that follow....has anyone else noticed the hypocrisy very well evidenced?

Many, many posters here have decried and gotten their knickers in a knot over Fr. Curran, Fr. Flannery, Bp.Morris, Fr. Reynolds   (ironically sacked by Francis himself), and theologians "silenced" (a word many here have used) by PE Benedict...

...yet have no problem with curtailing voices asking for clarification and pointing out seemingly ambiguous statements from Pope Francis.

Why is that?  Where is the consistency in the criticism? or is it that if the one asking questions agrees with the left-wing, liberal, "progressive" ideology all is fine...and those poor voices were maligned and "silenced"; but don't dare question from a more traditional standpoint.  Those voices must be removed and repressed.

Does anyone see the hypocrisy? For that is surely what it is.
