urbi, orbi, w.: "President Bush patronized John Paul II and everything he stood for today when he said that the Holy Father 'didn't like war, and I fully understood that and I appreciated the conversations I had with the Holy Father on the subject.'   That's it.  The Pope's  lifetime of writing and speaking in moral opposition to virtually everything Bush represented was trivialized, mischaracterized, and summarily dismissed in that one condescending phrase.   Not only does Bush refuse to follow John Paul II's moral teachings, but he denies their very existence."
