George W. Bush in welcoming the Pope: quote: "In a world where some invoke the name of God to justify acts of terror and murder and hate, we need your message that God is love. And embracing this love is the surest way to save men from falling prey to the teaching of fanaticism and terrorism."
George W. Bush in 2005: quote: "I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did."
The Pope in 2007: quote: "Life is the work of God, and should not be denied to anyone.
The number of Iraqis denied God's work by George W. Bush at the time of his embracing by the Pope: Up to 1,000,000.

The Pope is reverting to his former role, that of Cardinal Ratzinger. CNN at 8pm - in 30 minutes - will talk about how the Pope is pissing off other denominations, Jews, and Muslims today.ETA: I'm obviously in a different time zone - the CNN segment on the Pope upsetting other faiths today is on the Larry King show at 9pm, in half an hour. CNN just did a half hour of the Pope meeting with sex abuse victims. Anyone else see it? [ 17 April 2008: Message edited by: Boom Boom ]

Last night, Jon Stewart had a clip on that showed Bush greeting the Pope, Bush called the Pope, "Reverend". I laughed so hard, until I stopped and thought about it, and then did not know whether to laugh harder, or blow it off as a ploy.Bush has met with the Pope something like 6 times since he was first in office, the most times of any President, ever. So, has he called him Reverend everytime, or is he just playing stupid for the media and public?
