I am as adamant as they come in my defense of Pope Francis and of the doctrine expressed in Amoris Laetitia. Nevertheless I am not repulsed by Kathryn Ann Lopez as she tries to defend not being judgemental and excessive polarization with regard to the conflict Francis-Burke. If one avoids excessive polarizations one is free discuss the issues. I have had to restrain myself from calling Burke names in my writings in defense of AL.  Kathryn Ann Lopez convinces me that the effort to restrain myself was worthwhile.  She is also doing a very worthwhile task as a defender of Pope Francis in conservative circles. Give her a break.
