When the president of the US asks the Pope to have his bishops impose his [Mr. Bush's] agenda on their flocks, then its gone too far.

And if that was what actually happened then you might have a point.


Your response suggests that what I'm saying is not true. Are you also questioning the veracity of this article from the Catholic Reporter?

"During his June 4 visit, Bush asked the Vatican to push the American Catholic bishops to be more aggressive politically on family and life issues, especially a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a union between a man and a woman," writes Allen. The Rome correspondent goes on to quote an unnamed "Vatican official" who said that in his meeting with Cardinal Angelo Sodano and other Vatican officials, Bush said, "Not all the American bishops are with me" on the cultural issues."

BTW this item was leaked.........Bush is disliked even in the Vatican.
