President Bush will award Pope John Paul the Presidential Medal of Freedom Friday, the highest U.S. civilian award, a U.S. official said Thursday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the pontiff was being honored for "years of fighting for freedom and for his important moral voice."

Thanks for the info...
However, it wasn't received from President Bush, AND it wasn't given to him under curious circumstances five months before an upcoming election.
And punish the pedophile priests and the Catholic Church heirarchy that swept their crimes under the pews - that includes the Pope who obviously had to be complicit in this perversion.
Anyone who thinks the Pope's "abandoning" her because he declines to define his mission as affirming her pre-existing values rather than calling her to conversion and repentance has radically misunderstood the mission of the Church, not to mention the mission of Jesus Christ. I don't want to be rude, but "It's All About Me" strikes me as a pretty shabby sort of religion for anyone to choose.
This is a loaded deck. What extraordinary contribution has Karol Wojtyla made to protect, defend or improve the living conditions of America during his pontificate that could justify his receiving an award intended for extraordinary American contributions!!!
"It's All About Me" has been the hallmark of this celebrity pontificate that turned its back on sex in the church, and instead turned to poetry, musical CD's and book writing, while His Church lays in ruins at Wojtyla's feet!!!
We love him too!
And may God Bless President George Bush for making this award.

Pope John Paul I, murdered by European Socialists masquerading as Catholics.
>>>And this is suppose to do what?
Tick off people who don't like the Pope.

That’s true, he does resort to insults at times, but of course here he is right. You are a nut.... a certified nut...Whenever an opinion, or a reply is posted to you Sinkspurt which in your infinite wisdom you don't agree, you resort to petty insult.
To claim, suggest, or even to repeat that a tiara that was first used in the 8th century is somehow necessary to the papacy would imply that the papacy didn’t exist until the 8th century. Such a claim really makes one a Protestant. Yet, you deny being a Protestant, despite being one. You therefore deny reality, which is the definition of being a nut.

Well, for one (at that's all that's required in this case), he was instrumental in brining down the Soviet Union...an event that made this country immesurably safer.
Begging you pardon, but I think you do. The Catholic church is going where it ought not. End of conversation, FRiend.
Presumptuous of you; what you don't seem to see - or maybe I didn't make it clear - is that she is livid about Il Papa putting HIS political views ahead of his faith.
He should really (in my humble, Protestant opinion) kinda just stick to his gig.

Yeah; but this is a different election year...
Kinda looks like he's doing his impression of "Gandalf in Moria".
My point is that this award should be for AMERICANS and no one else. That's my point.
