However, I did not change them in the quotation from JP11, because that is not the way these pronouns appear in the papal archives. This has been a bone of contention among our readers before, but the fact is the Vatican practice in English translations is NOT to capitalize the pronouns referring to Jesus. I would be so bold as to say that if it is good enough for the Vatican, it is good enough for us, so perhaps you would allow that to inform your sensitivity on this issue.

Christ is – ought to be – our center. Always. Lord, to whom would we go? To the gods of the world? See, how they betray us, like another Lucifer and Judas.

One observation. Why not capitalize the male pronoun when referring to Jesus? So many good orthodox Christian publications have Him, the I Am Who Am, a “lc” (lower case). Why? Is He – should He – not be the center of our lives? Should He not be adored and honored with a unique use of a capitalized pronoun? If not Him…? By the “lc” we group Him as a mere common man, as a human with no unique attribute. He IS the Son of God!!

Additionally, when speaking about Pope Benedict XVI and other notables (even President Obama), an author, likewise uses the “lc” when speaking of the “p”ope/”p”resident. Should these notables also be graced with the “UC” of the “P”ope/”P”resident, et al?

Finally, Ms. Beckman, et al, I pray to Jesus that he, er, He continues to give you the grace to walk with Him in your Christian activities.
