Observe, if you will, this paragraph, just posted on the website of the Newspaper of Record:

“One of the closest collaborators of John Paul II, as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Ratzinger has been the Church’s doctrinal watchdog since 1981. He has been described as conservative, and as the current Dean of the College of Cardinals he is widely respected for his uncompromising if ultraconservative principles and his ability to be critical.”

“Watchdog,” “conservative,” “uncompromising,” and “ultraconservative.” Four terms of derogation in two sentences. Something of a record, no?
