"Everything you've seen of the viciousness and the evil that has been said since then by fanatics reinforces the pope's speech." Mr Gingrich said. Thank you Mr Speaker!

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, longtime foes in American politics, forcefully defended Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday against a wave of Muslim criticism over a speech last week.What the heck took her so long?
Wait for the polls to come back, did ya, Hillie?

No he isn't. Il Papa is a formal name.

This sure shows she had her ear to the ground and her finger on the pulse of world events, "especially when there is so much they should be working on together," Clinton said. sarc/

Now I'm curious :)
FWIW, according to my AP Stylebook, the rule is capitalize when used as a formal title before a name (Pope Paul came, saw, went....); lowercase in all other uses (Afterwards the pope did x, x, z...)
But what does AP know :)

"Pope" is part of the man's name. It signifies that he is the direct successor to the apostle Peter, the first pope. The AP might be clueless, but it is more likely that they are aware of this and choose to disregard it.

Pandering, plain and simple. Clinton believes in nothing but her political career. If she has his back, he better watch out for the knife she will soon stick in it.

"It's just outrageous and offensive that people would be threatening violence against him based on what he said, especially when there is so much they should be working on together," Clinton said.Can you get anymore weak than that?

HELLO. Who the hell do you think you are talking about Hitlery? They are terrorists. Flat out positively vicious killers. They are not offensive or even outrageous. They are KILLERS you stupid idiot viper. Talking is not one of their strong points.

"It's just outrageous and offensive that people would be threatening violence against him based on what he said, Hey cankles. you miss the point. It is what the pope read from their Islamic propaganda that pissed off Islamofacists. These people are so dense they don't even know it.

I didn't capitalize "pope" because I'm not a Roman Catholic.

That's funny.

"I think it's amazing that a 65-year-old nun who's serving as a nurse in Somalia can be killed over words, and people aren't outraged by the vicious barbarians that killed her," Gingrich said. Amazing? it's an outrage. Before you can negotiate with savages you have to be able to speak their language. And their language is savagery.

Oh Hillary, thou is really running for President isn't thou? She would never defend a Christian other any other circumstances. Her administration sent out warnings to police depts all over the country about Christians being potential terrorists! (oh, you mean it wasn't HER administration!)
To: presidio9
Hillary speaks out in defense of the Pope and "moderate Muslims" stay silent. That speaks volumes.

"Pope" is not capitalized in the article's original title. That's just wrong. Actually, I think it's right, strictly speaking anyway.
The phrase "the pope" indicates the current holder of an office, just as "the president" describes the holder of an office. Those usages do not require capitalization.
OTOH, the proper name "Pope Benedict" should be capitalized, just as "President Bush" is capitalized.
