Even if they were right about the matters complained of, they would be wrong in the lack of balance shown. But that lack of balance should alert us to the bias with which they approach John Paul

So which is it? Are papal critics inaccurate and therefore wrong? Or are they accurate but wrong to complain publicly?

What is the right approach if the Pope seems to be wrong?

Young raises this question but never provides a clear answer. I propose that so-called "conservatives" address this issue in a strait-forward manner instead of just whining with Vatican II-like vagueness about papal critics. They must find citations to prove that it is wrong to put forth evidence of heresy and malfeasance about a sitting Pope.

Alleged inaccuracy of criticism is a separate matter but defenders must deal with it with using strait-forward logic and citation as well.

It can't be done. They are arguing with their hearts and not their minds.
