Did anyone see it or does anyone have a transcript of what was said? I woke up to it and honestly have to say that I couldn't understand 90% of what came out of the Pope's mouth. Poor old guy was rattling and shaking as he read his prepared words. Meanwhile Dubya and Laura did a good job looking interested--I don't know how anyone could understand what was being said! I mean, I have a pretty good idea, but still.

Bush has said that he communicates with others through body language and gut instinct. As for what the Pope said...
"You've been a very naughty boy go to your room and don't come down until your ready to repent."

I think the AP news had a rough summary of what was said but I didn't see a full translation. Maybe the AP had a hard time understanding him too
Nice of Bush to stop by for a photo op with the pope to secure the Catholic vote. To bad had to listen to the Pope lecture him on his misdeeds.
In an apparent reference to the Abu Ghraib prison-torture scandal, the pope said: "In the past few weeks other deplorable events have come to light which have troubled the civic and religious conscience of all, and made more difficult a serene and resolute commitment to shared human values. In the absence of such a commitment neither war nor terrorism will ever be overcome."

I think they have to jump start the old pope with some meth or something to jolt him awake. Seems out of it in recent appearances.

From what I've heard and read it was a 'friendly' meeting, the pope's opposition to the war in Iraq wasn't to be raised. Short and sweet, no conflict - good PR for both of them

Well, after watching a video of it - the Pope did indeed get stuck into Bush. He made a couple of veiled remarks about the US policy with regards to the Middle East, and voiced his opposition to the war in Iraq. Bush just sat there grinning and looking more than a little uncomfortable.
