I'm saying he didn't "condemn the leader of the free world". He received him graciously and blessed America. He was opposed to the Iraqi war, he is a man of peace, and he didn't think all peaceful solutions had been exhausted. I disagree, but I respect his opinion.
This is true. However the liberal media ignored the positive aspects and focused on the fact that the Pope condemned the war in Iraq.
And as far as this issue goes, the Pope has sided with the leftists against George Bush.

I don't respect "his opinion" anymore than I agree with it. The idea that a so-called "man of peace" has the gall to oppose removing a mass murdering tyrant who was estimated to be killing 16,000 of his own people a year is sickening. To say the least.
George Bush could teach "his holiness" a thing or two when it comes to morality and the courage to stand up for common decency.
