...it appears that you failed to put CATHOLIC inside the quotes as well...
I asked a simple yes or now question: Should the Pope as the leader of approximately 12. billion Catholics be afforded the same protection as other World leaders?
So far three of the protestant "christians" have refused to answer, engaging in mental gymnastics to justify their positions. I think it says quite a bit about them. Do you feel he should be afforded the same protection?
