In this thread when people questioned his authority to preach what is and isn't a crime or what does and does not deserve speaking out about to his followers. If you're going to brand a group if people criminals whilst hiding a group if actual criminals then you should expect a bit of backlash, don't you think?

There's a difference between questioning an opinion and shouting "Pedo priests!" at every opinion he offers.

Because until he takes a proper stance on those atrocities within his own organisation his opinion on what is and is not "criminal" is comedic, if it wasn't so horrific.

Comedic or not, he's entitled to it as much as you.

Being entitled to an opinion doesn't mean immunity having that opinion criticised .

Can you not concede that when it's the Pope... it isn't an opinion anymore. If he is saying it out loud, his followers believe it to be the word of God.
It's not the same as you and me spouting our opinions online... and yes opinions can be perspective based and can be right and can be wrong.
There is a huge Catholic culture in many parts of the world that will use this word of God to roll back women's rights.

It isn't just an opinion

Well that goes for his opinion about anything.

Only commenting on and taking umbridge with only parts of the things he says is as hypocritical and narrow as those claiming he is.

An opinion on an opinion is different to trying to invalidate it.
