While it is true that you seem to have missed the point that the letter that you were responding to was an extreme example of Swiftian sarcasm, it was skillfully written to accurately represent the extreme anti-human positions taken by Pope Pius IX. So even though your OMIPU was slightly misplaced it is actually quite appropriate as a reaction to the impending Sainthood planned for this very unsaintly kidnapper.
