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.

Lying is hateful, no?

It could be, but you don't know that he was lying. Maybe he got up to go to get a diet coke at that part. Maybe he didn't notice it was a woman. Worst you could say was his research on that was faulty on that and I think he definitely should have made sure he was correct before putting it in print. Well it's a good thing NO journalists never make errors. /sarcasm. Assuming that he was lying is rash judgment, which most definitely is sinful.

I watched the coverage and Arroyo suggested no such thing.

Oh I get it. Someone with a different opinion on what Raymond Arroyo's words suggested is being hateful. Got it. Anyone who disagrees with you is hateful. I've heard that rational before.

The only thing you've documented is your position. Here it is in a nutshell(no pun intended):

You think Pope John Paul II was the greatest thing since sliced bread. You will tolerate no other opinion, no matter what reasons a person gives. Most everyone else thinks John Paul II was the best pope in the history of the universe so therefore, anyone who disagrees, even if they provide objective reasons, must be a "nutball".

You said Mr. Ferarra had "unorthodox" ideas. That was what I asked you to document. You have made no attempt to do such thing. Spreading falsehood about someone is calumny. Retract the statement, admit you don't know it to be true about him or provide something that justifies your accusation.
