text: In favor of "judmentalism"? I find that a nearly meaningless term, so I can't really say whether I'm in favor of it or against.
  
  As far as what's wrong with Bishop McElroy's article? So many things. But mainly, he does the very thing that he bemoans. His own attack on people who disagree with Father Martin is extremely harsh. He seems to be able to read minds when he asserts that Father Martin's critics are bigots and "homophobes" (another almost meaningless term). To attack people as "cancer" to be eradicated is pretty ugly. 
  
  And it's pretty defensive. He waves away the key question: has Father Martin, in fact, strayed from Catholic teaching? Bishop McElroy dismisses the question as absurd, but you know what? He doesn't get to decide that. People are asking a serious question about some of Father Martin's remarks, and Bishop McElroy's bluster isn't going to quell those questions.
