I’d be happy with you thinking up any label to substitute which you felt fitting and which did not push my buttons vis a vis heresy etc.

Why is a similar stance on the part of RC’s et al so impossible?

Very interesting. My daughter is always on at me about calling people the names they give themselves. I tend to think that Tony, Antonio, Antoine, are all the same name. The 'orrible brat child disagrees with me and is big on "It's HIS name ..."

I'm gonna have to think about this puppy. Mind you, I hardly notice what we get called. I'm more of a "When you call me that, smile!" kind of guy. The tone matters to me more often than the actual word.

I’d agree with your daughter about

PEOPLE.

Institutions and theology make it a bit more of a sticky wicket, imho.
