What's the dispute?
Warren is a prominent religious figure in the US. Created some controversy over some of his comments (especially with respect to homosexuality), especially when he was chosen for Obama's invocation. As User:Untwirl put it: "as the article stands now, both the lead and the article mention the existence of a controversy without describing what was controversial about it." Some editors (one has a proven WP:COI ) oppose this, saying this information is not notable, despite the attention in media. They also dispute the interpretation in media of some of the stuff Warren had said. Another, connected dispute, is how to briefly explain California Proposition 8 in the article and some other minor issues.

Result
