Yes I have--2 here, now gone--CAF is quite forgiving--and others on Phatmass which are permanent, the first after I criticized the Legion, based on an article online published by the VATICAN, stating that Maciel was to live a live of retirement, prayer and penance. Here, I have pointed out JPII's ill health--I believe he had Parkinson's, which affects the mind as well as the body, and produces rigidity of thought and body and later dementia. A terrible disease. This mention of ill health may have gotten me off the hook.
Have you received an infraction? I did, for saying of JP II he 'seemed disinclined to something something about Fr. Maciel.' I was told this was an infraction because JP II was declared venerable and of heroic faith. I did not know that mean sinless, and "seemed disinclined" struck me as softpedaling it.
