His Holiness John Paul II is our Pope, the Bishop of Rome and the Pope of the entire Holy Roman Catholic Church. I pray for his physical and spiritual well being every day. As for the Ordinary of my Diocese, since I value my privacy I will simply assure you that he is also included in that same prayer. Why would you ask in such an apparently obnoxious fashion?

Why would you ask in such an apparently obnoxious fashion?

I've run into many schismatics that claim to pray for the pope and their bishop. I was just curious as to what they mean. Although I respect your desire for privacy, your non-answer will contribute to the shadow of doubt that hovers over your credibility.

I did not intend to sound obnoxious. I did not intend to offend you.
