But it is not petty, disrespectful, or un-Catholic to object to the liberal parts of his agenda.

Indeed, but I am not convinced there is such an agenda. The worst I can say about the Pope is that he is not terribly aware of the condition of American Jesuits. The spectator is being a bit parochial.
