BTW...if W was already a Roman Catholic, he could leave Laura and the church could call it "an annulment" (as per Teddy Kennedy)

Amazing that one can be so uninformed in today's world of instant information.

The only way a Catholic can receive an annulment is if it is proven, after much investigation by a Tribunal, that a sacramental marriage never existed, because one or both of the parties was not able to commit to one. In Teddy's case, it was likely because he didn't believe that being married meant that he had to actually be faithful to his wife. Why would he think so? His father had never been faithful, and he raised his sons with the same 'Continental' attitude.

Another story was regarding the Pope's meeting with President Bush.

Reuter's reported that following the private meeting of President Bush and Pope Benedict, the two men prayed together. Here's the excerpt.

Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi said that the "brief prayer" took place after the pope and Bush had finished their private talks in the Oval Office and Laura Bush joined them.

"There was a brief prayer for the family (as an institution)," Lombardi said.
