This is a hateful piece of trash

What is hateful in it? Did he call anyone a "nutball"?

using the Pope to further their own unorthodox ideas.

Please elaborate on all of the "unorthodox" ideas you know Mr. Ferrara to hold and include the documentation to support it.

Every word of the liturgical text for the procession of the Pope’s body into St. Peter’s was intoned in Latin, every vestment was of the most dignified traditional design, and there was not a woman, lay reader or guitar in sight. Even the choir ...

The Spanish Lectrix was male? Lying is hateful, no?

How pleased Arroyo was to elevate John Paul II as “the people’s pope” at the expense of all his predecessors, whom he suggested were vainglorious royalists and popinjays partial to red tassels. This is neo-Catholic hubris at its height: the Church

That is a hateful habit Ferrara has. I watched the coverage and Arroyo suggested no such thing. Additionally, Pope John XXIII was called the people's pope. Big deal.

I could "document" other examples but reading Ferrara isn't appropriate to this EasterTide. Lent, sure. Easter, no.
