When you come out riddled with error and won't correct yourself, it reduces your credibility.
If you want to hate the pope, go ahead. If you really think the Pope called the president and the entire US "barbarians," there is no hope here. No amount of facts is going to get in your way.

LOL, cut the drama, it does not work on me. This has nothing to do with religion. The pope comments were on politics and policy.
I just explained to you about sovereignty and pope, and asked you to explain why the he even brought the subject up?
Why bring it up to the Pres?
Has the Pres indicated he wanted no gov chosen by the Iraqi people?
Has the Pres been somehow preventing Iraq elections? a written constitution? and a rule of law, or a census which enables an election?
No.
But who has been preventing those advances?
Did the pope address those groups, individuals and those who claim responsibility for blowing up innocents in Iraq?
No.
BTW, speaking of facts, do a search, and read the vatican statements about the US and our Pres, for the past 3 years.
Or for that matter, search on the vaticans statements on subjects such as the "occupation", Arafat, the UN, Israel, AQ, BL, Islam, ect.
Vs, the Iraq war and Bush, I don't recall the vatican calling Arafat or BL immoral or barbaric.
