You gotta be kidding.

Then you obviously believe it was a good thing when Athanasius was banished for preaching that the Arians were wrong.

Athanasius was patriarch of Alexandria who argued against bishops and presbyters who were his equals or inferiors. What standing do these folks have to make such attacks on the Holy Father?

And I say this as someone who has often been critical of the Holy Father's words and actions myself. The airing of such criticisms needs to be done with prudence and humility. This document seems to contain neither, sadly.
