By that logic they should also object to cardinals being addressed as "Your Eminence" and the Pope as "Your Holiness". When one meets the Pope, one should just say, "Good morning, John Paul," and when one meets the dreaded Cardinal Ratzinger, one might say," Hi, Ratz."

There are some people (including some very good and holy persons) who object to bishops being called "Their Excellencies". They say it is contrary to the spirit of the Gospel. Jesus Christ was never addressed...
