"You gonna let your mother link to a website that says John Paul II is an illegitimate Pope?"
That would not be as flagrant as a diocesan bookstore selling books by Hans Kung, Joan Chittester, Elizabeth Schlusser-Fiorenza, and other dissendents not to mention non-Catholics such as Martin Luther King and Bishop Desmond Tutu.
The poor unsuspecting Catholics that go to the bookstore will assume that these books will be "approved" so to speak. While the website may be in gross error, it is not operating under diocesan auspices and thus, let the user beware.

"Approved" for what? Only an ignoramus would think that that Martin Luther King was reflecting Catholic teaching with his books, although his non-violent protest is in keeping with Catholic social doctrine.
And, I'm sorry, but a purported Catholic website that says that JP II is an illegitimate pope is far worse than anything written by the authors you list, though I laugh at such nonsense and the people who support such nonsense.
