I am unsure of the relevance of the quotation that was placed into Christopher Lamb's page about the opposition to Pope Francis. It did not add anything of substance to the page and I removed it for that reason. Romanus Natus (talk) 02:04, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree that the quote on the book published by Lamb is irrelevant to the article. It characterizes Lamb's work as a Vatican correspondent: "Lamb’s book cites more than 100 instances of attacks on Francis’s papacy". Lamb is clearly working at defending Francis against rampant, conservative opposition, which Lamb calls "Guerilla warfare against this pontificate". Jzsj (talk) 05:46, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Then I think the better statement to make, if you want to characterize Lamb's work as a journalist, would be something akin to "In 2020, Christopher wrote The Outsider in which he defends Francis' papacy against Francis' critics". Your quotation of the book, in this entry on the journalist, came out of nowhere and did not fit into the overall entry. Romanus Natus (talk) 13:07, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the phrase "hardline traditionalists" because that phrase does not appear in the source you referenced. Those two words each appear one time, never together, so I edited the entry to conform to a NPOV. Romanus Natus (talk) 13:49, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I also removed "neo-traditionalist" since the article you cited used it once, when Christopher was speaking about a hypothetical scenario in which Sarah would be elected Pope concerning style of governance, and was not used in a broad brush for all of the critics of Francis. Romanus Natus (talk) 14:08, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest that you reconcile to some way of indicating that the article refers to conservative opposition a dozen times, never progressive opposition, and claims that such open opposition against a pope "has not been seen in centuries". Jzsj (talk) 15:00, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
