text: Liberals just don't do irony.  They condemn perceived villains on the Right and demand an end to "censorship."  But only today Cardinal Muller said in a striking interview that a climate of "great fear" has been created in the Curia.  People lose their jobs for uttering a word of criticism of Francis.  Distinguished professors are fired from theological faculties for the crime of holding orthodox opinions.  A senior Church figure, speaking to a journalist off the record, used the term "reign of terror."  Conservatives are shouted down and insulted.  The Pope regularly engages in verbal tirades against people he calls Pharisees, rigorists, pelagians, and sundry other nasty names.  I submit that in the Church today, as in politics and civil society, the bulk of the vituperation, intimidation, and censorship is coming from the Left.  No, conservatives don't have clean hands either.  But for gosh sakes, guys, open your eyes and take a hard look at what is happening.
