The biography of John Leslie here refers to "opposition on the part of a narrow-minded clerical party". This is a violation of Wikipedia's neutral POV standard, if narrow-minded is taken (as it generally is) as a negative moral judgment. That the appointment of Leslie was opposed, by whom, and on what grounds should be in the biography. The reader should be left to make his or her own moral judgment as to the propriety of this opposition. 71.175.149.15 (talk) 20:14, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
