Who Do You Think You Are?

 Do you have any idea how insulting this question is?  "Who do you think you are?"  

It assumes that you were presuming to be someone you have no right to be.  

Maybe you wrote something and were just expressing your opinion?  Maybe you were trying to help?  

"Just who do you think you are?"


This is a good example of "Who do you think you are?"  Kneeling is Father Ernesto Cardenal. Pope John Paul II is scolding Cardenal for his political actions.  Cardenal was a cabinet minister.  JPII took away Cardenal's faculties as a priest.  He also took away the faculties of other priests, who were in the government.  These priests felt they were acting as Jesus would by caring for the people.  The pope disagreed.  
      Before Ernesto Cardenal died, his priestly faculties were reinstated and   Cardenal was able to celebrate Mass, once again.
