President Bush was in Naples, Florida today (Friday, Feb. 3rd) to speak to a crowd of Catholics at the Legatus summit:

Former President George W. Bush talks about presidency, faith at Naples summit

But he didn't come to talk politics — or to endorse any presidential candidates.

The 43rd president of the United States was just one of several notable speakers on Friday at the annual Legatus summit, which is being held at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples beachfront resort off Vanderbilt Beach Road through today.

The line-up of speakers and special guests also included J. David Karam, president of Wendy's International, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio from Florida, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who converted from Hinduism to Catholicism.

Legatus — a networking group for the heads of businesses that encourages members to become ambassadors for the Catholic faith — is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The group was started by Thomas Monaghan, the founder of Domino's Pizza, Ave Maria University, and now Gyrene Burger, his latest fast-food venture in Naples.
