Well, Gabriel Walser considers the Pope his enemy but respects him. That’s about the same shape as tolerance in the normal sense: enduring something that’s doesn’t seem terribly good.

What they want is approval. Apparently, they’re the ones who can’t tolerate mere civil dissent, others merely tolerating their own behavior.

Maybe on some level they realize that if they can break the Church, then all of Rome’s moral relevance and authority will be lost. They might be right, if such a thing were possible.

Those that demand respect and tolerance consider the Pope their “personal enemy”–now that is tolerance and respect!!!

Why do they feel the need for the Church’s approval? I’m guessing that if the voice of morality is silenced the voice of conscience becomes a lot harder to hear and much easier to ignore.

That’s a great take on their use of the word “respectful.”
