<Spadaro said Francis also distinguishes between the constructive criticism of those who “really want, in good conscience, the good of the church” and “another kind of opposition, which is just imposing one’s own view, which is ideological opposition.”
“The pope listens to the first and is open to learning. But he doesn’t pay too much attention at all to the second kind.”>
The judge of this criticism, of whether it is constructive or not is the Pope, it is purely at his whim completely subjective.
Spadaro, it seems, is the 'eminence grise' the 'evil genius' behind whom Pope Francis hides in his battle against orthodox Catholicism.
