I don't think I could actually blame anyone for thinking differently concerning motives behind your "simple questions".
I actually DID answer, though, with the first comment I posted to you after you accused "three Protestants" of failing to and avoiding an answer. I cannot help it if the way in which you framed the question was not doing it justice with merely saying "yes" or "no".
Here's a test...
No, the Pope does not deserve the same protection afforded other world leaders.
Now what?
Thank you for your honest reply.
