By the way, nobody in that Catholic country ever expressed to me directly or to the Filipinos who worked with us that we were ever offensive to them on a personal level. We were chided sometimes for being too direct for their cultural sensitivities, but not personally mean or offensive.
"Magicsterical" (which I don't remember whether you used or not, I wasn't necessarily talking about you) is not a word dripping with charity or respect for the sensitivities of others, especially those who think that the magisterial function is fulfilling of a promise God made to us.
