Why do you think this is controversial?

Precisely what I said. It's relativist twaddle. He's saying, "Doubt scripture, doubt the Church, doubt its teachings, doubt Jesus! Go with your gut..."

He is saying this to both the uninitiated, meaning those who just take these words at face value, but also he is saying this to those who are aware and have an understanding of what Ignatius Spirituality is all about and an understanding of the Jesuit use of the word "discernment".
