President and Mrs. Bush to Welcome His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI to the White House

White House News

President and Mrs. Bush will welcome His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI to the White House on April 16, 2008, during his first visit to the United States as Pope. The President and the Holy Father will continue discussions, which they began during the President's visit to the Vatican in June 2007, on their common commitment to the importance of faith and reason in reaching shared goals. These goals include advancing peace throughout the Middle East and other troubled regions, promoting inter-faith understanding, and strengthening human rights and freedom, especially religious liberty, around the world.

1. that's nice...at least they'll have something in common...

they're both Nazi fascists.

All hail the Nazi Pope and Nazi President! yeay!!!!!!

[spotbird]

6. Another dark era for the Roman Catholic Church

Those stupid old men never learn.

[ladywnch]

21. ditto

[rsdsharp]

2. I can here Bush at the photo-op now

"So.........unh.......how ya doin' your Popeness?"


(Obviously, that should be "hear")

[0007]

8. Will the Pope think of junior as the 'Holy See'? and Cheney as

the wasted blob of emasculated cum, that still has mystical powers?

[tanyev]

3. Ooh, is he going to choose a hamburger or a hot dog?

[Ilsa]

11. You forgot the BBQ chipped beef or pork. nt

[hatrack]

4. The Pointy Hat meets the Pointy Head

Gosh, it doesn't get much more righteous than that, does it?

[BobbyVan]

5. Disgusting - this Nazi protector of child molesters should not set foot on our soil

[Demeter]

7. Why Not? Doesn't W Call This The Homeland?

[Ilsa]

12. One of his raping priest has announced he's HIV positive. nt

[0007]

20. The Holy fuck has just started.

[damntexdem]

34. Nor should the Pope, either.

;-)

[Richard D]

9. The smell of sulfur . . .

. . . will probably cause half the city of Washington to be evacuated.

[BrklynLiberal]

23. Perfect! The meeting of those two demons will ignite a huge cloud of sulphur

[asjr]

10. They can exchange shoes--Shrub's

boots for the Pope's ballet slippers.

[Mz Pip]

13. I'm curious as to

whether or not Kennedy had the Pope come to the WHite House to discuss 'their common commitment to the importance of faith and reason in reaching shared goals."

I can only imagine the outrage if he had.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[peace13]

14. Something big is up!!!

At Pope John Paul's funeral * and Pickles actually laid a big mouth kiss during the ceremony. * had a smile on his face. * and the current Pope Monster have some huge connection that is not a good thing for the rest of us. Peace, Kim

[nxylas]

15. Yeah, there's some connection there

Before the last election, the Catholic bishops of America issued some sort of voter guide saying that the only 4 issues that need concern Catholics were abortion, ESCR, euthanasia and gay marriage, which is as close to saying "vote Republican" as they could get without losing their tax exempt status. Wonder what Benny is getting in return?

[peace13]

16. Gotta be big! n/t

[Beausoleil]

29. Funny how the Church seems to be so forgiving

of illegal pre-emptive wars of aggression, indiscriminate killing of civilians, torture and the death penalty.

Maybe Benny will get to watch the next waterboarding session. After all, he filled the position of Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a position that was held by Torquemada at one time.

[struggle4progress]

43. Perhaps you should read what USCCB actually says before you unfairly characterize:

here's a link to a pdf file of the 1997 version of "Faithful Consciences"

http://www.usccb.org/bishops/FCStatement.pdf

At par.29, for example, you can read Racism .,. the death penalty .,. unjust war .,. torture, war crimes .,. failure to respond to those .. suffering from hunger .. are all serious moral issues .. that require us to act

[struggle4progress]

44. It's a safe bet that the USCCB voter guide didn't say what you think it said

[benld74]

17. What the OVER/UNDER in minutes before,,,

our "great leader" absolutely makes an Arse of himself in front of the Pope?

[Heywood J]

19. Probably between one and five.

Despicable. The man is responsible for human suffering and misery - he uses his office and apparatus to shield child molesters and pedophiles. His organization is responsible for countless "disappearings", torture, and murder. He's the head of an old-boys network that seeks only to pillage money for its own ends, and he has Nazi connections. He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Washington - he should be in jail.



Bet you had to think about which one of the two I was describing... Birds of a feather.

[snappyturtle]

26. Ha! I did have to think there!

:rofl:

[zbdent]

18. Is Bush going to correct him on what God is saying?

[izquierdista]

22. This will confirm my atheism

Because if there was a God, there would be a Tunguska type event on the White House lawn that day. :nuke:

[frog92969]

24. Two peas in a pod.

11: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12: And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13: And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men


BTW No, I'm not Xtian.

[LeftyMom]

25. "His Holiness" "Holy Father"????

I'm more than a bit irritated at a "public servant" (well, in theory) bowing and scraping and lending credence to religious nonsense on the taxpayer dime.

[BobbyVan]

31. Sadly, that's a bipartisan tradition

[Dulcinea]

27. Will the Pope perform an exorcism?

And on whom? Boy George or Cheney the Undead?

[kskiska]

28. Will he take him to the "ranch"?

Will * give the Pope the ranch tour in his pick-up or will they take the Popemobile?

[Charlie Brown]

30. will the rest of the Illuminati be there as well? nt

[Peace Patriot]

32. "Other troubled regions..." Hm-m. How about...

[damntexdem]

33. Is the Pope going there to perform an exorcism?

Of course, given the protagonists, any exorcism would be not of demons, rather of integrity and humanity.

[Hekate]

35. Our Opus Dei Supremes (Scalia, Alito, Roberts) must be doing nip-ups. Now what?

I have nothing against Popes as such, Roman Catholics as such (being descended from a long line of them myself), or US Presidents as such.

It's the combination of George W. Bush and Pope Benedict/Ratzinger that makes me distinctly uncomfortable.

Hekate

[sakabatou]

36. A meeting of evil-doers.

[DemoTex]

37. Will he be wearing his red Prada Pope Pumps?

Condi might knee-cap him for these!


Bennie, tell me again about that "Vow of Poverty." WWJW?

[sarcasmo]

38. This makes me SICK.

[melody]

39. His Holiness and his AssHoliness ... fitting, that

I wonder if they'll be bathing in the blood of virgins together.

[Honeycombe8]

42. LOL LOL! Great play on words. nt

[goclark]

40. Didn't W have a secret meeting with the cardinals before this

child molester overseer was "selected?"

[Orsino]

41. If it's for an ideologue-off, my money's on the Pope.

* doesn't believe in anything (besides his own entitlement) strongly enough to hold his attention. He'll choke in minutes, whereas His Holiness is backed by a couple of millennia of dogma, plus a few years of Hitler Youth training.

[tom_paine]

45. Wonder what evil these two villains will be hatching?

Perhaps more excommunications for bishops who don't toe the Bushie Line?

Who can guess? But I believe Bushler and the Bushie Pope are capable of any evil, any atrocity.
