i can hear heads exploding this very minute...Ping!
He was just being nice..jeez..can’t morons from england realize that..
i can hear heads exploding this very minute...Anything for a story. This is nothing but 100% speculation. They didn’t even bother to quote the old standby “unnamed sources” The best they could come up with was that because Bush is born again “anything is possible”
I thought the Pope already was Catholic????
I believe Bush is currently a Methodist and based on the abject liberalism on display at my sister-in-law’s Methodist Church, I can very well see him converting to the Church of Rome. No doubt the radical leftism of the present day Church of England was what prompted Tony Blair’s conversion.
If one converts to roman catholicism and in a moderate amount of time coverts to another club.. Did anything really happen at all?.. OR Can you be a member of multiple clubs at the same time?.. OR Can you be a roman catholic and an apostate at the same time?.. OR... {snip}..
George W Bush meets Pope amid claims he might convert to Catholicism
As a Catholic, I would love it if Bush converted. He’s welcome with open arms.
The liberal MSM just keeps inventing the news.....
"There's nothing to those rumors," spokesman Tony Fratto said Friday.
Father Richard John Neuhaus, a prominent Catholic priest who runs the monthly magazine First Things and has been consulted by Mr. Bush, also discounted the reports. "I'd be very surprised," he said.
Yet, Marco Politi, the respected Vatican correspondent of La Repubblica newspaper speculates otherwise. His reasoning: President Bush met with the Pope. The President's brother Jeb converted to Roman Catholicism as has former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Ergo, President Bush must be converting to Roman Catholicism.
This is the same kind of speculation that sends oil prices higher and higher.
Since Mrs. Bush is a Methodist and President Bush converted from ECUSA to her church, chances are he's going nowhere if she isn't interested. It's an old saying that if you're courting a girl, you should agree with her father in politics and her mother in religion . . . .
But I can see him leaving the Methodists, because they have been very rude to him in D.C. -- denouncing him personally from the pulpit WHILE he was in the congregation. That's why he goes to the ECUSA (very high) church in D.C., but I don't see him reverting to the Piskies because they've all gone nuts.
President Bush was in Iraq recently, yet I don’t recall him converting to Islam. The only media worse than ours is that in the UK.
An article very similar was posted on Friday here.
I doubt very much GWB will convert to Catholicism. He is a deeply devout Christian, however, and has a natural affinitiy to the views and faith of Pope Benedict XVI. It’s a simple matter of two like-minded people of faith supporting one another in their worldly tasks.
I don’t know if it is tied to the calendar world wide... but this week was the first rite for my RCIA class to become Catholic.
I’m not sure if convert would be the proper language... I believe as a baptized Christian President Bush would be Candidate to be confirmed as a member of the Church.
If it is true, than our President will be joining Jeb and Columba in the pews.
I didn't know that. Wow!!!
I for one wold warmly welcome President Bush into the Caholic community. I am hoping and praying the rumors are true. It is heartwarming to see the President with Pope Benedict and equally encouraging to know they have a close relationship.
Like when I met Hillary Clinton and said I might become a sociopathic militant lesbian feminazi too! I was just being polite.
Then I said I recognized her, she's Monica Lewinski’s ex-boyfriend's wife.
The conversation went down hill from there.
