Have I offended? I didn't realize that comments concerning long dead clerics-- taken from contemporary sources-- would engender such passion. Certainly my comments were not intended as an attack on the Jacobite Duke of York, nor were they aimed at bringing the Catholic Church (in the 18th century) into disrepute. However, if you have misconstrued my comments, and have found them personally offensive... well, then I suppose I must apologize.
