The Virtues of Saint Anselm →
The last sentence, in particular, reminds me of the complaints laid against Pope John Paul II:
It is certain that from the moment he assumed a religious habit to the time of his elevation to the episcopacy, he devoted himself to the cultivation of every virtue, and by word and example sowed these virtues in the minds of others whenever possible. … He was often even blamed and suffered in his reputation on account of his undiscerning … cultivation of the virtues which were more fitting for a monk of his cloister than for the primate of so great a nation. His high humility, his boundless patience … were all in this respect noted censured and condemned. And above all he was blamed for his lack of judgment in the mildness of his proceedings, for — as most people saw it — there were many on whom he ought to have inflicted ecclesiastical discipline, who took advantage of his mildness to remain in their wickedness as if by his consent.
