You don't know what side I'm on. For the record, I'm Catholic and I know the Church of England was founded by the ba!!$ of Henry. I used the term Bloody Mary because I like that drink;-)

Use of the term perpetuates the Black Legend. Words count--pro-choice rather than pro-abortion has permitted abortion to gain a foothold it might never have had had the manipulators not won that media battle. When a Catholic uses "Bloody Mary" he contributes to the perpetuation of anti-Catholic prejudice. I'm sure it was not intentional, but it's effect is the same. :)

What's wrong with "Bloody Mary"? That moniker commands respect.
