I can almost hear Bush quoting a lyrical poet in response to this:
They don't think twice about dissin' me!

THE lyrical poet.

[Poohbah]

IMNHO, as a devout Catholic...my prudential judgement is that this man has far exceeded the charism and authority of his ordination.

Heck, to say that the Pope has the authority to do so is a stretch. The Catholic Church teaches that the Pope is infallible only in matters where he is dogmatically defining doctrines of faith and morals; the Pope's opposition to this war is a prudential judgement, as fallible as mine, yours, or any other man's.
