Right!  And that is fine, so far as it goes.  Ignorance is an excuse  
here (perhaps not an all encompassing excuse, but it is one).

On the other hand, one would expect the priest and bishops (and  
pastors and intellectuals and writers and other leaders) to NOT be  
ignorant.
For them, they should receive the harshest rebuke.  And Frank sees to  
that.
