If you want to get picky about it
@Joseph a' Christian Brother Beowulf doesn't provide
any reasons for using the term "antipope". He just uses it the way many ignorant people on GTV use it. Further, I would thank you not to make an accusation of "slander", absent supporting proof. Such unsupported claims seem to be a
habit among GTV's ignorant, don't they?
;-) Since I have not accused Brother Beowulf of any wrong-doing, your claim has no merit.
See? This is what happens when you start playing forum lawyer with no better education in the field than watching re-runs of "Judge Judy" "L.A. Law" and "The People's Court".
:PThe most a person could argue is that I have made an incorrect attribution regarding Brother Beowulf's
motive for using the term "antipope". But that in itself is not false accusation of wrong-doing -which the charge of
slander entails.
There's one major problem with a such hypothetical argument (i.e. incorrectly attribution of motive): It's wrong. Dislike is indeed the
primary motive for the accusation "antipope". The moment Benedict XVI resigned, he left the door open for anyone with a gripe against his successor to start yelling "antipope".
Granted, Pope Francis gives traditionalist Catholics plenty of
reason to dislike him. His policies stink. But that doesn't change their
motivation.
If, by contrast, Pope Francis were a traditionalist and busy rolling back sixty years of Vatican II, it would be the modernists who'd be screaming "antipope" at him for the identical reason: i.e. they don't like a "radical" pope at odds with their world-view.
