Trouble with the “Holy Father”.
Pope Benedict XVI and US President George W. Bush will discuss the Iraq war when they meet next weekend, the Vatican’s secretary of state said Sunday.
Tarcisio Bertone told Avvenire, a newspaper for Italian bishops, that the United States was “a great country” and praised Bush for his anti-abortion stance, but said problems remained.
“Such as the war in Iraq and also the dramatic situation for Iraqi Christians, which continues to get worse,” he said.
