Kindof.  I see the point he's trying to make.  It's really a slam against R&R using the Pavone situation as his takeoff point.

But the logic is wrong.

#1) Since Pavone has not been informed of the charges, he's not really required yet to submit to the laicization (Mario admits this).

#2) Pavone insists he'll continue to work with Priests for Life, and Mario criticizes him for disobeying his bishop.  But if he's laicized, he's no longer under strict obedience to his bishop.  He's a layman, then, after all, and he's also released from the vows of obedience he would have made to his bishop.  Not to mention, the informal "ruling" against him does not prohibit him from continuing with his Pro Life activities ... (in fact it explicitly says it's not) ... at least in its current leaked form.

So he misses the mark on his analysis of the Pavone situation.  He also takes another absurd jab at Father Feeney.  Father Feeney had every right to speak out about the heresy he was fighting against, i.e. the overt heresy of Cushing and his Jesuit superiors.  In fact, by Mario's principles that heretics vacate their authority, Cushing was a non-bishop due to manifest heresy.  So Mario wants to have his SV cake and eat it too there.
