I'm picking up mixed messages here, Kolo.

1. He's a lightweight and nobody listens to him.

2. He's making trouble for the entire Church.

Help me out here.

“I’m picking up mixed messages here, Kolo.

1. He is a theological lightweight, a joke frankly, among theologians. That’s simply a fact, though he may be an effective shill for American rightist politics.

2. He is listened to by American Catholics, mostly lay people but also a handful of equally politicized hierarchs, who measure the orthodoxy of theology by a secular, American political standard. That causes trouble for the whole Church.
