An excerpt from Cdl. Pell's Demos memo on the 1st anniversary of his death: “Commentators of every school, if for different reasons, with the possible exception of Father Spadaro, SJ, agree that this pontificate is a disaster in many or most respects; a catastrophe.” ... “The Papacy is silent” about heterodoxy wrote Cdl. Pell, a fact which is “emphasized when contrasted with the active persecution of the Traditionalists and the contemplative convents.”
