Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Pope also denounce the war in Iraq?

I don't think he totally denounced it, I'd say that he tried to prevent it. But he did totally denounce the barbaric acts perpetrated against the U.S. on 9-11.

There's a difference, though. Abortion and homosexual activity is contrary to Church doctrine, but war isn't. He's speaking in terms of the official doctrine of the Church on this.

If you read the text of the Papal message to GWB (it's on CNN.com) you will find that the AP headline and one-graph summary is HIGHLY spun.

Yes. He condemned the war in Iraq. Guess he preferred Saddam continue gassing, torturing and filling his mass graves. Incredible.
