You really can't see how it could be rude to suggest that "others" (from context, non-Catholics) lack spirituality, merely because they have been discussing the first pope to resign in six centuries??
You cannot see how it may be presumptive and out of line to assert that someone lacks spirituality and so much so, that they are in "dire need" of it? And you assert this merely because they noticed the pope resigning is a unique event and comment on it?
Let me revisit it.
"Or that it appears to be more normal and acceptable to the Catholics and that, maybe, the others are in a dire and hidden need of spirituality."
You assert that "others", non-Catholics, are in "dire need" of spirtuality. That strongly suggests that they fatally lack spirituality. This sideways glancing at the morals of non-Catholics isn't so nice.
