Well, the "Dead Pope-ies" is pretty much splat, there it is, in your face and out in the open. There's a much more subtle distinction in the other song.
I think it's going to be interesting watching the selection of the next Pontiff. With the advent of CNN, Faux News and the internet, it's probably going to get a more intense scrutiny than the last time. I remember when John Paul II was announced--I was working at the campus radio station and the AP teletype let off with seven dings.
And we read it, and someone said (I swear to God on this), "Oh my God, they elected a Polack."
And someone replied, "If you want to get into heaven, better make that 'Pole' from now on."
