It may simply be someone uncomfortable with the timing of so critical a comment - that being hours after his death.
Yes, there's the old
nil nisi bonum de mortuis sentiment out there where you should not speak ill of the dead (at least the recently departed). I think that this doesn't apply so much to public figures, especially those who have done such great harm to the Church. Speaking WELL of them just because they died recently could be construed as condoning their heresies and giving the impression that they weren't THAT bad.
I see not program with criticizing Bergoglio.
And even with less-public figures, let's say if someone at your chapel died, and he was an open sodomite or adulterer, or something along those lines. Well, it wouldn't be appropriate to praise this individual just because he died. "Well, he was a nice sodomite after all." ... giving the impression that niceness could offset the sin or that the sin wasn't "all that bad" or that God would overlook it at one's judgment. And if you saw others making such comments, there may be an obligation to step in and reject those comments lest they corrupt others hearing them.
In the case of Bergoglio, it's not wrong to remind everyone of how wicked his teaching was lest those being swept away by mere emotion forget about it, and start to condone it.
