Charliehall,
hat to break it to you but Goren was universally condemned by Rabbonim in eretz Yisroel from the Ultra-Orthodox to the Zionist excluding the Ultra Liberals.
Perhaps not all used the Stiepler’s words (written in an easily obtained letter) in which he stated that Goren was a Chamor Noseh Seforim (Donkey carrying books) but condemned he was.
In fact the despicable nature of his act was something that United Torah Jewry.
And please don’t be intellectually dishonest enough to compare his “heter” to the modern day controversy.
In his case the proper Geirus was proven beyond doubt and upheld by subsequent Batei Dinim.
In the modern day cases, Zionist Rabbonim are the actual initiators of an investigation proving that there was real doubt as to the BD procedures and Kabbolas Mitzvos, enough doubt to have arguabley damaged the Chazaka of said BD hence throwing into question all conversions done by them.
