Well, thanks for sharing your experience of him, which seems to have been positive, as were many, many others' (present company included).
Unfortunately, the Vatican wasn't evaluating whether or not he was a good person who gave very entertaining and provocative retreats and lectures. They were examining the content he expressed by word and pen, and, quite frankly, there are some problems there. Too bad he didn't live long enough to dialogue through this with the Church I know he loved.
