The article was quite revealing, in that Spadaro said Francis also distinguishes between the constructive criticism of those who “really want, in good conscience, the good of the church”  - i.e., those like Spadaro who truckle to the Holy Father - and “another kind of opposition, which is just imposing one’s own view, which is ideological opposition.” - i.e., those exercising their right and even duty under Canon 212 to manifest to their sacred pastor their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful.

Spadaro communicates like a Sicilian, a true Underboss.
