MSW's snarky comment concerning Msgr. Pope is both childish and unprofessional.  The fact that he calls himself a "journalist" is absurd - that comment is better offered in a combox, if it had to be offered at all.  I am also surprised NCR deemed it professional, and further erodes my respect for the publication - it that is possible.

Why not simply say with respect (as the other articles are treated with respect) something along the lines of "Over on NCRegister, Msgr. Pope delineates his reasons for questioning several aspects of Amoris Laetitia, concluding it must be "interpreted in the light of the Church’s constant teaching and practice since apostolic times"   and let others draw their own conclusions?  

No, instead we get MSW's viciousness...and articles with which he seemingly agree get kid glove treatment.   Shame on you, Michael.  And shame on NCR for publishing it.
