I think one hell of a lot more people saw that than read this statement.

I can't get upset about it, at all, sorry.

Also, the president of the USCCB, Archbishop Coakley of Oklahoma City, said this on Monday:

"I am disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father," said Archbishop Coakley in a brief statement. "Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician. He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls."
