  1. Già il titolo è fuorviante: Cordileone non è “UN” arcivescovo cattolico, bensì è “IL” vescovo della diocesi di appartenenza della Pelosi il quale ha, più che il diritto, il dovere pastorale di guidare tutti i fedeli della sua diocesi, anche con richiami e sanzioni (non arbitrarie, ma previste dal diritto canonico). Tenderei a dire che per scrivere sulla Chiesa, certe cose bisognerebbe conoscerle.
