Don't anybody think I'm saying that Pope Francis, or any pope, is above criticism.

Sorry, but I can't help but think you are doing the very same thing with your selective, and questionable, quotations, all at the expense of a good priest's name. Are you related to Michael Voris?

"...with your selective, and questionable, quotations..."

LOL! All quotations are "selective," in the sense that they are generally one or two lines, as opposed to 30 or 40 pages. The question is whether they are fairly or unfairly selective: that is, whether the quotation reasonably representes the gist of what the speaker or writer was trying to say. I think my quotations are fair and representative.

As for "questionable," you haven't made it plain whether you mean "I question whether these are really quotes," or "I question what they mean." As to the first, yes, they are really quotes: I don't write "pope fiction." As to the second: that's what this conversation is inevitably all about: your questionable quotes vs my questionable quotes. That's not an accusation: that's, unavoidably, the topic of the discussion.

"...all at the expense of a good priest's name."

Explain this. You will notice I wrote words of sincere respect for Fr. Linus Clovis, if that's who you are referring to, and I don't think I mentioned any other priests. So what are you talking about?

"Are you related to Michael Voris?"

Yes.

Same way I'm related to you: he is my brother in Christ. You are, too.

Let's try to keep that in mind.
