First sentence: These reporters either don’t know the difference between “proselytism” and “evangelization,” or they are liars.

This is how I imagine American journalists ending a call with Obama:

‘I don’t know how to end this call and let myself go, saying: “Can I embrace you by phone?”’

Reading a Washpost column about the Pope is kinda like reading Dr. Seus on Ham Radio.
