I don't think that "Pray for JP II" is intended as an insult. I don't know why it would be considered one, though I have seen it used for snide comments. And by the way there were a series of Soviet leaders who didn't consider the Pope a threat either. Just a harmless old man.
When I was in Public High School we prayed the "Our Father" before class each morning. When we reached "and deliver us from evil" we (about 1/2 the class) would shout AMEN!!! Were we insulting the Protestants who were attempting to finish their ending "for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory Forever, Amen"?
Of course, the use of bold and exaggerated text has no message. Don't be naive or worse. You know very well the diffefence between a SHOUT and a simple request.

You know very well the diffefence between a SHOUT and a simple request. Oh no. Some competition for the consolation prize.
