Michael, it seems Fr Weinandy has struck a very sensitive nerve. Pope Francis is not a gentleman and has many times made pejorative comments about those he considers traditionalists. We thought that has been one of the things you like about this Pope. If you really believe that "the vast majority of Catholics in the pews" love Pope Francis, why are you so angst over Fr Weinandy's letter? If his letter is so obviously absurd, why does Mgsr. Strynkowski bother with a rebuttal in a Jesuit publication? We are certain the Holy Father can take care of himself and will ignore the letter should he think it to be of no consequence.
