Now I think most people who follow US politics knows that recent Republican attempts to woo the Catholic vote means that they have tried to claim the Pope as some Conservative rock star.
Yes, JP II was a fervent anti-abortion/contraception man and therefore shared some of their values. True.
But he was just as opposed to capital punishment and he was a fierce critic of Bush's march to war. Just to show they will do anything that is politically expedient.
What does surprise me is that I never thought that the media whores at CNN would agree that Bush is just playing politics.
Or why would his going to a funeral in Rome be top of the politics page?
How is this
politics again?
