I don't think I've ever been called a cretin before, let alone an utter cretin
I wasn't calling you a cretin, I was inferring that you assumed I was one.

Is it a first-hand source of what the Pope wanted recorded? How can you be sure? Did he personally tell you so, or do you believe everything you hear/read?
I can't be sure because I haven't read it for one thing. Which is why I'd quite like to. Get it yet?
