Bush discounts pope's anti-war plea*** Cardinal Pio Laghi, a former papal nuncio to the United States, gave Mr. Bush a letter from Pope John Paul II that outlined the pontiff's moral objections to an attack on Iraq. But the president countered that much good could come from such a war. "A disarmed Iraq is something that makes the world both safer and better," a senior administration official said after the meeting. "Better for the Iraqi people, better for the region, better for the world." The official added: "As president, he has the responsibility to protect the American people and to protect America, which is an important factor in his thinking."***

We all know that the Pope is ill and beyond reason, and has been for some time now.
I just can't help wondering who are these neo-socialists presently using the Pope as a political tool?

I was born a Catholic and will die a Catholic, but not as a member of this buffoon-administered church.

Message to the Pope. The war and assaults that gay Catholic priests have waged on the children of America is UNJUST, ILLEGAL AND AN ABOMINATION IN GOD'S EYES! DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT!!!! Don't try to tell me what is just when you turn a blind eye to the attrocities Catholic priests are perpetrating on children across the globe.

"create...a new gulf between Islam and Christianity..."

Someone should tell this guy that this Gulf was opened by the freak Suicidal Islamic followers that are on a JIHAD against every society that doesn't follow "their interpretation" of Islam. Gulf? We're in the Gulf alright and about to close that so-called 'gulf' just a bit tighter too.Question: How are we as American citizens, supposed to tell the difference between A Muslim that wants to Kill us and The average Muslim? Anyone have any tips? I didn't think so. Those Airport Security pictures of the guys who flew the planes on 9/11, sure looked harmless to me.
