Yeah, as I've said elsewhere, as a non-Catholic I feel odd commenting on such things, but in a way it's hard for me to not take this personally - like the guy's going to be coming after me.

Ehh, it might not be that different if you're Catholic. This morning my mother asked me to write my questions and concerns in a letter to the new pope. I said there wasn't a faster way to be excommunicated.
