"So I'll simply pray a Rosary for all you anti-Catholic bigots, "

Why is it that anyone who dares to disagree with a Papist is a bigot?
This would offend me if it didn't come from someone who's nick sounds like a vinyl , bottom dwelling, fish.

They aren't. Only people who use derisive epithets to refer to another's religion, like, say, "Papist," are bigots.

Meet the original vinyl, bottom-dwelling fish ... a better man than you (or me).

You obviously missed an important point: The Pope is introducing contemplation of the public ministry of Jesus Christ to the contemplation of His Incarnation, Passion, Death, and Resurrection. Obviously, the Rosary is essentially a contemplation of the entire scriptural story of Jesus. But some bigots cannot get beyond their preconceived erroneous conclusions about what the Rosary really is.

Despite being corrected time and again.

Bigot is indeed the correct word for some folks who keep themselves willfully ignorant about Catholicism.

You got a problem with that, then you got a problem with God, not me.

My previous nick was Proud2bRC. You may recall our previous exchanges.

Polycarp was an early Christian Martyr.
