Dear MWS,

Actually, they'd be Maronite Catholics who are Roman, but still not Roman Catholics.

I was mistaken. I was thinking of the Melkite Catholics, who were known as "Rum Catholics" in the Arab world... "Rum" is an arabized version of "Roman."

I wasn't trying to make a serious point so much as to point out something I thought was interesting.
