First catch your yeti - or in this case, angel. Then we can cook it.
Like always you are missing the bigger picture for the quick retort.
The bigger picture being the pope is supposedly the leader among leaders of christianity. Shouldn't the leader among leaders know the rule book backwards and forwards whether or not you specifically want to play this game?
It would be like me getting elected the international president of the dr.who fan club, and then decide to start referring to the good doctor as doc wuuuut. Some sharp tonged Trekkie may say, "Dr. Who's not real what does it matter what you call him, it's all the same in the end.." For the Trekkie, and other Trekkies like him he maybe right, but in the realm where the Good Dr. Is master of space and time, referring to the Good dr. As doc wuut, only shows that I as the president of the dr.who fan club doesnt know the cannon of dr. Who as I should.
