Nah.
I questioned him once about excommunicating pro-abortion politicians and he gave me a rather diplomatic non-answer.
I would say for an African,Catholic Cardinal with English not his primary language,speaking to an American about American politicians,he made a judicious decision.Sometimes discretion is truly the better part of valor.I think your case might have been one of those cases.
I also liked his remark several days ago that the days of the "do it yourself masses" were coming to an end.
Cardinal Arrinze made a trip to a highly infested,infected diocese out west and within a few months a "coadjutor" bishop was sent in to "transition" the diocese. I look at Carcinal Arrinze and say "long live Cardinal Arrinze and God keep him close".
