When a Catholic priest tells you the name of his religion is "Catholicism", he and he alone has not "defined the grammatical rules of a language", he is telling you the correct spelling of his religion!  If you persist in talking about Kathwolicizm, what is he going to think of you?

Maybe you should not be so RUDE!  Honestly I am disgusted by the responses and personal attacks flying around this list, both up front on the list itself and in unpleasant personal emails related to things on this list.
