The Pope needs to read this in the book of Romans.

13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 13:4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil."

Hello! God ordains righteous government to "execute wrath" on evil doers.

The Apostle Paul had to correct the doctrine of the "First Pope" (See Galatians Chapter 2), and I see this is needed again.

Bush deserves this embarrassing specticle if he doesn't end this soap opera now.

BTW shouldn't the seper. of church and state work both ways? Just what does he think he's doing? The church ought to butt out. They have enough problems of their own.

The RCC pretty much ignores the entire letter Paul wrote to them.

The Popes never relied or quoted Holy Bible, they were always arrogant, corrupt, seeking earthly power to justified their earthly not divine causes, thats why Martin Luter got pissed with the Popes crap and started Reformation, which lifted christians on the higher level of ethics, morality, work ethics, amd spawned an enviroment in which further creators of Americam Constitution could created the awsome Unated States Of America.
Thats a kind of a shortcut, bur also a bottom line.
