By not offering specific contemporary examples, the Holy Father is creating confusion and division. I disagree! He is speaking to our consciences. That entails looking in the mirror to examine our motives; not an easy task IF we are to be truly frank and honest with ourselves.

The first group, he said, believe that everyone in the church should be just like them. "They are rigid! They do not have that freedom the Holy Spirit gives," and they confuse what Jesus preached with their "own doctrine of uniformity."Who is he talking about? What is this doctrine of uniformity?

Why doesn’t he speak to the consciences of non-Catholics like this?
Seems the only people he criticizes are Catholics.
