It's a critical assessment, Pete, but I don't think it's a smear.

There were many Catholics of my late father's vintage who were very sympathetic to Santamaria and his 'movements' but, in the end, didn't like his methods. In short the means didn't justify the ends.

However, whatever you or I think, posting the link has crossed an 'invisible line' marked 'don't go there' because it's too 'political'.

Perhaps I need to find an article that's critical of the current Pope. That doesn't seem to be a problem here.
