This is not another post about Fr. Pavone, although it was in a
discussion of that topic on Facebook that someone made the claim that
Catholics are “not allowed” to criticize priests.
I am going to limit myself, therefore, to that specific claim. I do not, here, address the topic of whether criticism of priests is imprudent, or the extent to which it must be done in charity, or privately, with respect for the office, and so on. I address only the claim that it is “not allowed.”
