[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] The Catholic Church isn't defining public policy for any government other than the Vatican. The statements from the Pope are a statement of offical Church stances on any number of issues. They are in no way taken as a means to change United States policy any more than a statement by Tony Blair on any issue would be. In other words any state or plolitical power still allied with the United States hope what they say is taken into consideration. With an eye to future relations with the Vatican, the Pope sends out his message, someone translates that for Dubya. Dubya wants the Catholic vote for his election and might therefore put more weight on the Pope's comment than you or I would. [/QB][/QUOTE]
