Eh, you can't please all of the people all of the time.
It's obvious that most of the folks who are mad just don't like their favorite priest getting disciplined for clearly breaking a rule that prudent priests can and do easily follow. The fact that they are now insinuating that Fr. Lane, the parish priest, is doing something nefarious in the picture of him venerating the relic with small children shows just how unhinged they are. If the priest who messed up was a priest they didn't like, they'd all be dancing a jig and giving you a cookie.
It's also obvious that a couple of the "journalists" criticizing you are trying to feather their own nests.
I sincerely hope Fr Martins gets everything sorted out, but at the same time, if these relic tours are becoming more about himself than about the saints, to the point where a different priest can't pick up the ball and run with it, perhaps it's time he stepped away.

What's the evidence for this assertion? I'm sure there are some mad for this particular reason, but taking them to be "most" seems hard to support.
I've been reading what's happening on four different social media platforms with about half a dozen different journalists and bloggers and dozens of their commenters. It doesn't take a weatherman to see which way the wind blows.

That is not very compelling evidence.
