"the reputation of an unspotted priesthood"[edit]

The phrase "the reputation of an unspotted priesthood" (1) is unacceptably vague; (2) it is POV-Catholic, and its application outside that faith is uncertain; (3) it is borrowed from a text which makes no pretense to being fair and balanced; (4) the article is written in the eulogistic style, inappropriate to an encyclopedia entry, and the offending quote is part of that uncritical style. Does the phrase refer to the subject's adherence to diplomatic procedures (as perhaps implied by the paragraph)? Does it refer to his following the oath of poverty, chastity and obedience? Does it refer to his being free from sin? Does it refer to his carrying out the regulations of his profession, e.g. saying Mass daily, reciting the Breviary? In the context of Carvajal's career, does it mean he was never heretical or schismatic? The article already has plenty of testimonials. I strongly suggest deletion of the phrase, even though it is a quotation. --Vicedomino (talk) 03:24, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

B-class review[edit]

I did not fact-check the article, but the sources and inline citations look appropriate, as does the scope. The article would benefit greatly from attention to organisation and flow, particularly for the content that is now in the "Life and work" section (including its subsections). At present it reads like a sequence of facts, and it's easy to lose sense of context. —Ringbang (talk) 14:48, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
