I know we didn't want to get into wars of religion, but I have to admit
that I was offended just as much by the Corbetts' response as by the

Am I assuming correctly that you meant the "pope" part of the
nomenclature? As a Roman Catholic, I can't say that I like the
implication that Pope John Paul II is a close-minded bigot.
If I'm being over-sensitive, please let me know.
