As much as I like and respect OPie, as much as he has done to help illuminate certain concepts and scripture and the history of doctrine in various traditions, he is not my pope. I doubt you grasp this but OPie would undoubtedly consider himself to be a failure if I treated him like some sort of pope. I think that would worry him more than almost anything else a person could say.Dittos, and Kudos.
[Sorry, OPie, but you did probably already suspect that you aren't a pope. Anyway, it's just as well or we'd have to start calling you 'pOPpie' instead. Still, it does have a certain ring to it...]
Eek!!
