      1. Protip: if you are going to criticize the Pope you should know the difference between Doris Day & Dorothy Daypic.twitter.com/uAaKEhBgEe

      2. The Federalist, a right-wing website, criticized the Pope for allegedly not mentioning Jesus, which they claimed as a glaring mistake

      3. Normally, I'd overlook this since I make far more than my share of typos, which my heroic colleagues at TNR don't always catch.

      4. Still, it takes real Chutzpah to snidely insult the Pope while talking about Doris Day and Thomas Madison (i.e. Thomas Merton).

      5. For the record, Doris Day & Dorthy Day were both great women. Doris starred in Pillow Talk, Dorothy spearheaded Catholic Workers Movement

      6. Although part of me wishes the Pope had given a speech in front of Congress praising Doris Day. Maybe also Rock Hudson & Tony Randell.

      7. Since Doris Day is still very much with us (as I've just been told) she's not eligible for canonization. Still deserves praise.

      8. For Dorothy Day, read Paul Elie's "The Life You Save May Be Your Own". For Doris, essays by John Updike & @JamesWolcott

          @HeerJeet 2 people told me today that it was Doris Day he mentioned. I was surprised but could go with it. 1/2

          @HeerJeet I was more disappointed that the same 2 people didn't know that Doris Day is still alive! (I'm a Doris Day fan) 2/2

          9. As @hilzoy & others note, the root error was really on transcripts done by Roll Call:https://twitter.com/hilzoy/status/647235144592584704 …

          @HeerJeet Though I just checked and they pasted in a transcript from Roll Call making the same mistake(s). http://blogs.rollcall.com/white-house/pope-francis-speech-to-congress-transcript/ …

          10. But I'm puzzled by reliance on Roll Call transcripts since Vatican made embargoed text of speech available to press.
