I was referring to a saying that I have heard for many, many years. Here's a reference:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=is+the+pope+catholic%3F

The intended inference is that a bear is most certainly NOT Catholic, and that the President most certainly is NOT in possession of testosterone.

Ooooohhhhhhh....

Is the President Catholic? Does a bear have testosterone?

So I guess if you had said "Is a bear Catholic? Does the President have testosterone?", it would have been a little more straight forward.

Thanks for the explanation.

In other words, the quote you referenced ""Does the Pope live in the woods? Is the bear Catholic?" " involves a pair of questions to both of which the answer is an emphatic NO.

But your adaption involved a mixed pair, one YES, one NO, which left your point less than clear.
