Neutrality

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

As written, the Themes section, which makes up the entire body of the article, presents the work from the perspective of its author and/or proponents. Particularly in the absence of a well-sourced Reception section, this comes off as promoting the book's views. The sources that are already cited for the lead should be a good resource for expanding the article and addressing this issue. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 23:09, 14 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

There is more content in the article talking about McIntyre and his critique than the book itself. All Wikipedia articles on books include summaries of their content and themes—this is not non-neutral. 2A02:8084:611D:D880:8038:BB11:2E45:2F0 (talk) 07:29, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Pope Francis' Response

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

There was a bit of press coverage on Pope Francis' critique of the book. That should probably be included here in a "Reception" section. VeraqueVeritas (talk) 18:40, 17 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

A negative reaction from this pope is in effect a promotion of the book. 73.24.15.130 (talk) 02:02, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
