- President Bush will lead the U.S. delegation that will attend the funeral on Friday of Pope John Paul II, a U.S. official said.
Administration officials were scrambling to retool the president's schedule for late this week. Bush was scheduled to be in South Carolina on Thursday and give a speech to U.S. troops at Fort Hood, Texas, on Friday.

You have now expressed your opinion. Thank you so much for using a thread about something that has nothing to do with immigration to let us know how you feel.

Thank you!
I hope that Mrs. Reagan is part of the delegation.... would speak volumes to the East Europeans.... and to her husband's legacy, as well.
Thank YOU, MikeReed.
Totally uncalled for. This is a thread about the President honoring the Pope, a magnificent man who helped bring freedom to millions and who had a wonderful, forgiving, penitent heart (and I'm not Roman Catholic). Surely you can find one of the hundreds of existing threads blasting our President over his immigration policies, can't you?
I have watched the Spanish channels coverage of the Pope's passing, and they are a hundred times more reverant to the Pope than our English networks have been.

It is too frightening to face the reason he acted as he did.
He maintained the Truth is Truth as it has always been. There is right, there is wrong. Evil exists. Faith must guide your daily actions. Technology may change, but God doesn't.
This is not high in the polling data, and beyond the grasp of many.
My deepest fear. Pray hard.
Please notify me via FReepmail if you would like to be added to or taken off the Catholic Discussion Ping List.
I'm not the least bit surprised.
The MSM commentators and people who disagree with his positions are totally missing the point. This is a man who forgave the man who shot him; frightened Communists; travelled the world to spread his message; apologized for the evils the Catholic Church had done to Jews; reached out to holy people of all beliefs; and, above all, served God. I honestly believe in his heart he was a Servant of God first and a Roman Catholic second. If more people who call themselves holy were quicker to apologize and forgive, the world would be a much better place. No, he wasn't perfect; no, I don't agree with many of his views. That doesn't change the fact that this was a Great Man.
They will proceed out into St. Peter's square and back into the Basilica.
I recall when Clinton President he had an audience with the Pope and the Pope said Clinton didn't act interested in what was being said - looking around-listless-something like that. Does anyone else remember this?
