Reply #10: Ah, but that's Juliet's point, isn't it?

Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

Context, of course, is everything.

I'm sure many Catholics would be offended if Couric just came out and said the pope was not a Christian. But, in that case, it's the conversation that is the point. If she said it because, say, the pope were protecting priests that were molesting children; then I think the larger, more important, point is, not what Couric said, but what the pope did.
