righthand says:

Yesterday the Vatican was seething at rumours that there was much more to it than protocol: George Bush,lifelong Methodist, was about to convert.

The Vatican differs from the White House on immigration and the death penalty but on other issues including stem cell research, gay marriage and abortion there has been, as the Catholic daily L'Avvenire put it, "total harmony."

He'll have to become a Christian first, won't he?

1,000 years.

My former gang must be getting desperate or something. First Blair and now Bush. Is it all the 'Bs'?

Could it be that their present gang were kicking them out and the Catholics are taking any riff raff? I'd bet sex or money is some part of it. Ha ha
