A CATHOLIC WIND IN THE WHITE HOUSE
By Daniel Burke
Sunday, April 13, 2008; Page B02
Shortly after Pope Benedict XVI’s election in 2005, President Bush met with a small circle of advisers in the Oval Office. As some mentioned their own religious backgrounds, the president remarked that he had read one of the new pontiff’s books about faith and culture in Western Europe.
Save for one other soul, Bush was the only non-Catholic in the room. But his interest in the pope’s writings was no surprise to those around him. As the White House prepares to welcome Benedict on Tuesday, many in Bush’s inner circle expect the pontiff to find a kindred spirit in the president. Because if Bill Clinton can be called America’s first black president, some say, then George W. Bush could well be the nation’s first Catholic president.

Me, too. God bless and protect Pope Benedict
on his journey to his American flock. Very
unusual dinner in his honor, without him.
The largest ever crowd will be at the Bush
White House to honor and greet him .. 12K+.
HEADS UP, ALL:
It will air again:
Monday at 10AM and 11PM.
THANK YOU for the link! I watched the interview this past Friday — AWESOME! The President’s last comment/insight was pure ‘Dubya’:
Arroyo: What do you see when you look in the Pope’s eyes?
President Bush: GOD!
I LOVE my toaster! Thanks!
