Does anyone have the audio or video when President Bush was visiting Pope John Paul II this year?
My wife and I considered this an important visit and watched it life.
I have to admit, watching Pope John Paul II address President Bush was painful to watch.
Priests who have traveled to Rome and met the Pope all seem to say that his mind is very sharp. His appearance, to give an example, is like Mohammed Ali. Ali shakes and looks a mess, but they say he too is still quite sharp mentally. Also, the medication the Holy Father takes makes his face puffy and causes him to slurr. That said, I wish he's step down and let a younger man take the job. The most brilliant mind in the world can't get much done in aged body wracked with illness.
