I, too, am friendly to Catholics.
But...DO I get invited to visit the Pope.....NOoooooo!
And I have some really NEAT opinions!!! Get elected president. That will (probably) get you a papal meeting :-)

Polish Pontiff rightly perceived in Reagan a Protestant who was friendly to Catholicism, and who counted many Catholics among his intimates I, too, am friendly to Catholics.
But...DO I get invited to visit the Pope.....NOoooooo!

Dearest Sinkspur, if you are lurking I'm only kidding!

We'll put a few in the tract rack in the Vatican vestibule.
Maybe Cardinal Law will read the 4 Spiritual Laws.
That'd be cool.

Maybe Cardinal Law will read the 4 Spiritual Laws. I think the whole of Christendom could do with a copy. It might not help, but it sure couldn't hurt.

Do I have your word on this?! Well. Get elected POTUS and see.

It's too bad his wife, Nancy, dabbled in the occult thus violating the first commandment.

Hardly RN. The GRPL attempt at posthumous baptism was inappropriate, as the Moderator said. This thread is entirely different.
Hardly . It was simply celebration Reagans faith , a faith shared with the calvinist freepers , and so the decision to make him and honorary GRPL. I have the feeling if he was a Mormon the thread would have stayed...

I love it! Such a wonderful article. I was so young when Reagan was elected, but I just loved him. I have been (slowly) reading his autobiography (An American Life). I've also been reading about four other books, so I'm slowed down with what I can only describe as a bout of adult ADD! LOL
Thanks for sharing this with us. :)

From what I've read, he had bouts of going on benders, but in between was a kind man, loving to his family. He just stuggled (and frequently lost) with alcoholism. Maybe it's just that Reagan could always see the best in people, no matter how deeply buried it was. ??
To: dubyaismypresident
You think that Kerry would get to see JPII if elected? (I know, God forbid...but it's an interesting question, isn't it?)
To: GOP Soccer Mom
My guess is he would not. Unless Kerry wanted to repent his positions on gay marraige, abortion, cloning....

John Edward Reagan, a shoe salesman, a father of two, and a Knight, influenced his family more than he would know--the strong values that he possessed from his Faith and from the Order molded his son, President Ronald Reagan.
