- I guess if you got tired of it instead of "used to it" you might oppress
- the Pope back. It seems that witholding donations has a big effect on the

- Nope, it's the golden rule. The Pope should know it and should live by
- it, right? If so, then the way he treats people is the way he'd like to
- be treated, right? He's doing unto <group> the way he would have them do
- unto him.
