"Is the bear a Catholic?" is the quintessential example of the confusing bastard offspring of two separate rhetorical questions, the proud papa question being "Is the Pope Catholic?" and the proud papa's homosexual life partner question being "Do bears shit in the woods?". Both of these are examples of positive rhetoric; for example, it is almost certain the the Pope practices Catholicism, as he is the leader of that particular religion, and it is certain that bears do an exceedingly large portion of their shitting in wooded areas.

abstract	"Is the bear a Catholic?" is the quintessential example of the confusing bastard offspring of two separate rhetorical questions, the proud papa question being "Is the Pope Catholic?" and the proud papa's homosexual life partner question being "Do bears shit in the woods?". Both of these are examples of positive rhetoric; for example, it is almost certain the the Pope practices Catholicism, as he is the leader of that particular religion, and it is certain that bears do an exceedingly large portion of their shitting in wooded areas. Mixing these two positive queries produces two outcomes. The first is, quixotically, negative. "Does the Pope shit in the woods?" arises when combining the subject of the first section and the action of the second section. The ponderables of that question are pondered elsewhere, but mainstream experts generally agree that the Pope, in all likelihood, shits in a woodland setting extremely infrequently, if at all. The other question resulting from the mating of the two original positive ones is the puzzling "Is the bear a Catholic?", which is discussed both before and after this point in the article.
